Snowden's kind of a shoe-in then, no? His name has been in headlines constantly for the majority of the year.

> Hitler was TIME's "Man of the Year" in 1938.

- after the Munich Agreement wherein Hitler agreed peace with Chamberlain. Ok he reneged, but that's not the point.

The article isn't celebrating peace, it's very negative about Hitler. The cover for that issue shows people being tortured.

Yeah, old times when the press had balls. Good luck hoping Time will pick Snowden these days.
