Gabriel Sherman, Yashar Ali hit @Time for leaving off THIS #MeToo victim from its #PersonOfTheYear cover

By now you’ve heard that this year’s Time magazine “Person of the Year” is the “Silence Breakers” of the #MeToo movement:

“Women have had it with bosses and coworkers who not only cross boundaries but don’t even seem to know that boundaries exist,” Time magazine writes. “These silence breakers have started a revolution of refusal, gathering strength by the day.” pic.twitter.com/NUr6wo50ZR

But guess who Time left off its cover:

Not cool Time that you left Gretchen Carlson off #metoo POTY cover

— Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) December 6, 2017

Not just the cover. The entire piece:

It’s true. Word search shows Gretchen Carlson isn’t even mentioned in Time’s POTY story. https://t.co/orCPMEcPft https://t.co/72LnE7haXQ

And in reality, Carlson was one of the first to actually speak out:

I'm really disappointed that Time did not mention @GretchenCarlson in their story. She bravely took on Roger Ailes and ignited a national conversation. The NYT would not have done their Bill O'Reilly story if it weren't for her…which led to their Weinstein investigation. https://t.co/y3BhQeT3JN

Time’s snub comes on the day that Carlson is in DC to introduce legislation to get rid of arbitration in employment contracts:

2. And today @GretchenCarlson is in DC introducing legislation to deal with the terrible arbitration clauses that prevent women from getting the justice they deserve when they've been victims of sexual misconduct int he workplace. I'm so proud of you Gretchen.

But to Time magazine, Carlson is invisible:

3. They didn’t even mention her in passing. It’s astonishing. https://t.co/T7Oqyf3T6I

But Taylor Swift got the cover:

4. I know Taylor Swift was included on the cover to sell magazines, and I'm not going to take away from anyone's experience, but she has never posted on her powerful social media platforms about #metoo – not even once.

Carlson took the high road, saying “it’s ok”:

Thx @gabrielsherman – It’s ok making landmark change today on the Hill introducing my legislation to stop arbitration clauses for sexual harassment in employment contracts and its bipartisan! Imagine that https://t.co/6qP8ynvReO

— Gretchen Carlson (@GretchenCarlson) December 6, 2017

Thank you @yashar Great work happening today on the Hill for all women! Proud to be a part of this bipartisan effort! https://t.co/ysJu0oA6Ut

Gretchen Carlson FTW:
