I usually try to avoid ‘entertainment’ news due to the sheer level of insanity that often pursues, but in this case I feel that it is worth it.

As just about everyone in America knows by now, Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was giving Miss USA, Tara Conner. The next day, Rosie O’Donnell reacted with a real blow at Trump and it now looks as if she may be facing a slander suite as a result.

As you all likely know by now, time has selected ‘You’ as it’s 2006 Person of the Year. By you they mean everyone who uses the internet. As the describe in the article:

This seems all well and good on the surface, especially with the way that blogs and the social media revolution have spread across the internet like wildfire and impacted our everyday lives in recent years. There are, however, some suspicious choices in Time’s profile of 15 influential web personalities.

As Michelle Malkin points out over at Hotair.com, the people profiled are not exactly representative of the entire internet community. Those profiled include a number of liberal bloggers and assorted MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube personalities. Noticeably missing are major conservative bloggers, including those who debunked the now infamous Reuters photos during the Israel-Lebanon conflict. Something seems a bit strange, doesn’t it?

I encourage you to head on over to Hotair.com to see Malkin’s full report on the controversy. And while you’re at it, think twice before basking in the glory of your Person of the Year award.
