Why is Bashar Al-Assad on this list?

  Reading about the Time POY poll a little bit, it's supposed to be the person who has influenced the media the most. Adolf Hitler won the top slot once.

  The POY is for recognizing people of great impact, not for endorsing their position. Hitler was POY at one point.

    Bashar is no Hitler.

    And Stalin won it twice.
