2005 In Review- Person of the Year (No, Not Bono)

Earlier this month, Time magazine named Bill and Melinda Gates as its People of the Year for their activism and their work in mobilizing efforts to tackle world poverty. Rolling Stone in turn named their favorite 'Mavericks, Renegades, and Troublemakers' of the year including Cindy Sheehan, Rep. Jack Murtha, Capt. Ian Fishback, George Clooney, and Kanye West.

Now TvNewsLIES, a watchdog site that looks at media spin, has named its Person of the Year- Rep. John Conyers. They state "We believe that he has proved himself as a most distinguished and indefatigable leader and a tireless and intrepid fighter against the abuses of power by the present administration. In that role, we believe that John Conyers, in his dignified and determined way, also has become the voice of the people." They cite three acts in particular: Exposing election fraud in Ohio, holding the Downing Street hearings, and releasing 'The Constitution in Crisis'. It's an excellent choice, though those honored by Time and Rolling Stone were certainly no slouches.
