Not only does he have a new movie out "The Mist" - Stephen King has weighed in on his choice for Time magazine's "Persons of the Year" -- Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.The master of horror tells the news weekly that while waterboarding, the war in Iraq and other issues are given short shrift by news organizations, "You get this coverage of who's gonna get custody of Britney's kids, whether or not Lindsay drank at her 21st birthday party. If you go to those sites that tell you what the most blogged-about things on the Internet are -- it's Britney, it's Lindsay.
So I think it would be terrific [to have them as Time 'Persons of the Year']. There would be such a scream from the American reading public, sure. But at the same time, it's time for somebody to discuss the difference between real news and fake news."
