Stephen Colbert, MEDIA Magazine Person Of The Year

FishbowlNY frenemy Stephen Colbert is the MEDIA magazine Person of the Year. He follows in the footsteps of Steve Jobs (MEDIA POTY 2006), and former Vice President and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore (MEDIA POTY 2007). From Joe Mandese, the editor of Media Post Publications:

”We’re not saying Colbert hasn’t had a tangible impact. It’s just that it has been in a subtler way than that of our other leading poy candidates — power shifters like Rupert Murdoch, Facebook dweeb-in-chief Mark Zuckerberg, or the Googleplextuplets of Brin, Page and Schmidt — who moved big pieces around the media chessboard.
