You have to admit the title “Person of the Year” does carry with it a certain gravitas, just by virtue of the way those words are used in every other instance. Game of the Year, Movie of the Year, etc are all superlatives - regardless of whether they can hide behind the plausible deniability of their own definition.

They have nothing to lose by not putting a criminal oligarch on the front cover. Bet it made Time a lot of money though so, ya know, that’s what matters.

This similar to how Rogan justifies platforming Nazis and conspiracy nuts. And anyway, it’s not really even “news”; it’s just a long opinion piece with facts sprinkled in.
