    Sent email to Time

    I didn't read your article yet, Glenn, because first I followed your link to the Time article. It's rubbish, of course. I wanted to email the reporter, but clicking on his name led to a Letter to the Editor link, which I settled for:

    What an irresponsible piece of editorial opinion disguised as "journalism." Why are no specific polls cited? Why no references to the public-led pushback against amnesty for telecoms? And if the reporter can document indifference, why no connecting the dots between public apathy and the mainstream media's (and Time's) role in keeping the populace uninformed? YOU are part of the problem!

    Keep up the excellent work.
