Should Snowden be Time's Person of the Year?

Who's afraid of Edward Snowden?

The infamous NSA leaker was named runner-up to the Pope for Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2013.

OutFront: Mediaite's Joe Concha, Father Edward Beck, a CNN contributor and Senior Media Correspondent Brian Stelter.
