For Salon and NewAmerica Media, the choice was S.R. Siddarth (a.k.a. Macaca).  The CBC chose the Canadian soldier.  Time chose the blogosphere.  MSNBC decided to give us Top Political Moments instead (note the promoting of "real" Republicans and the jabs against Democrats).

Who were your top Newsmakers of the year? For better or worse, who shaped 2006?
