It has a whiff of classic fake news: David Hogg and all his foul-mouthed little high school buddies who made headlines and raked cash from their calls for gun control in the wake of the Parkland shooting have been elevated to the number-one spot in Fortune magazine’s annual list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders.
Mike Allen at Axios got a sneak peek of the upcoming issue and reported it in his Vitals column this morning:
FORTUNE editor-in-chief Clifton Leaf: “If 2018 becomes the year that the United States finally begins to tackle its disease of gun violence … it will be due not to the good sense of elected officials, but rather to the courage, tenacity, and sheer eloquence of students.”
From the magazine’s annual list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders:
- The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas and other schools
- Bill and Melinda Gates, cofounders, The Gates Foundation
- The #MeToo Movement
- South Korea President Moon Jae-in
- Ken Frazier, Merck CEO
Seriously? Of all the world leaders on the global stage, they went for one famous for his petulance, immaturity, and string of losing causes?
