Vanity Fair‘s Top Five Most Influential People Of The Information Age

» 5 comments

Vanity Fair has released its 16th annual ranking of the 100 most influential people of the Information Age. Spoiler alert: They are all white men. Other than that the top five is full of the usual suspects. What may surprise you is that the top-ranked woman is Lady Gaga who comes in at 23, and Glenn Beck…who doesn’t make the list at all.

A couple of other interesting shakers on the list include Nikki Finke who clocks in at 93, and J.J. Abrams who merits spot 50. Mad Men fans will be excited to hear that the team behind the show ranks number 43 on the list. You can view the full list here and scroll through the top five below.

    The Top 5 are all white guys? Sounds like a pretty racist list to me.

    This is not a survey. It is not a poll.

    IT IS A VANITY FAIR OP/ED PIECE!

    IT WAS WRITTEN BY UNKNOWN HUMANOIDS WORKING BY OR FOR VANITY FAIR!

    IT WAS APPROVED BY ‘ONE’ MAN (or WOMAN).

    It was predicted that it would start like this. Mark Zuckerberg is the Beast of Revelation 3:16 and the world is falling for it. Don’t you! http://boycottfacebookblog.blogspot.com/

    The poll was taken amongst the readers of vanity fair. Go figure.
