.....The students and professionals standing up to the military in Tahrir Square were protesting "crony hypercapitalism"? The hooligans who burned London were justified in their looting and arson? This is not reporting; this is unadulterated socialistic propaganda.
If that were not clear enough, Time asserts this of the London rioters -- who, by the way, killed three innocent men who tried to defend their property from the roving hordes:

From Ed Morrissy
In 2009, Time had the same opportunity to pick “the protester” when the protests were the Tea Party and Iran’s Green Revolution, which followed from Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, and so on. Who did they pick? Ben Bernanke. When the Tea Party movement actually delivered results at the ballot box in 2010 in a historic midterm drubbing of Barack Obama’s Democrats — they lost 68 seats, the worst outing since 1938 — they could have hailed The Protester then, too. Who did they pick? Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
So they’re a little late to “the protester” story in terms of real impact. And what impact has “the protester” actually had in 2011? Has the Occupy Movement, such as it is, had any kind of ground-breaking impact on politics in the way the Tea Party did in 2010 and still does in this cycle? Not even close...

And is motivated to sell magazines. That's why the Tea Party didn't make it and that's why Facebook founder made it.

I heard it makes a good backup when the rolled stuff runs out in the "library".

Apparently the OP is trying to make Time look like they only endorse liberal heroes.
However, the political persuasion has no affect. In their words
"
TIME's Person of the Year is bestowed by the editors on the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was ..."
Time has bestowed (not honored) the title on a variety of individuals over the past 80 some years
