Time awarding Biden, Harris 'Person of the Year' is an insult to health care workers

Time giving President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris its 2020 Person of the Year award is patently laughable in its partisanship.
Why did Time do it? Because it was the politically correct thing to do, and it's what Time’s readers wanted from a comfort food perspective, all while largely ignoring the true heroes of 2020: health care workers on the front lines of COVID-19.
Thousands of doctors, nurses, physician assistants, techs, administrators, ambulance drivers, EMTs, firefighters, right down to those keeping medical facilities as clean as possible, have died since this unprecedented, horrific pandemic began. But Time went with Biden and Harris, who in any other year would be the default choice given the election — but this isn't any other year.
Instead, Time named essential workers "Guardians of the Year," which is akin to getting a bronze medal or a third-place trophy. And to add insult to injury, the magazine didn't place a doctor in a P100 mask or a nurse scrambling to keep a COVID patient alive on its Guardian cover, but instead opted for Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Fauci became a trusted voice for some but didn't put himself at risk by actually treating patients. Why, exactly, Dr. Fauci is lumped in with active doctors in ERs and ICU units is a simple explanation: His face will help sell more copies.

Time has been consistent. The Time “Person of the Year” has been the President-elect since 1992. (Also 1976 and 1980). Only skip since 92 was 1996.

Every TIME Person of the Year for the past 27 years
Vladimir Putin, Bill Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump are just some of the people who have been named Time's Person of the Year in the past quarter-century.

Time magazine is a washed up POS. Here are the real "People of the Year" all the healthcare professionals (from doctors, nurses, housekeeping, etc) and First Responders (Firefighters, EMT's, etc). Corrupt Creepy Joe and Commie Kamala did not do a damn thing. Corrupt Creepy Joe HID IN HIS BASEMENT!! Just pathetic.
