I'm so irritated that Farhad Manjoo is still writing for Salon. Every time I see his byline it makes me want to skip right to the end of the story and write something like this.
For some reason, I read this story anyway. I'm sorry I wasted my time.
What is the point of this watery argument? Was it a fraud or wasn't it? It seem quite obvious to me, and should to any other rational observer, that if we have to ask that question, then there is something seriously wrong with so-called democracy.
Manjoo's offering is an embarrassment, and Salon should go sit in the corner and think about what it's done.
