To the editor... I am thoroughly disgusted that you have Bush as "man of the year" on your cover. This will, IMO, surpass the shock of even your Hitler cover of 1938. I wouldn't even mind as much if you had given him a full perspective report card, which you haven't.(as usual) I find it ironic, that just 6 years ago, you were bloodthirsty over a blue dress and a cigar... but now that thousands of Iraqi's and Afghani's have been bombed and killed or maimed, their land has now been poisoned for 1000's of years to come with 250,000 times more nuclear waste than was caused in Nagasaki... thousands, if not millions of episodes of electronic voter fraud nationwide last month... vital election problems taking place right now in Ohio... Bush funded coup attempts, kidnappings, election interference, murders, in foreign country's such as Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, and the Ukraine...anthrax letters sent to the exact 2 Democratic Senators standing in the way of the Patriot Act passing through... a large list of illogical 9-11 events that still remain unanswered... and through all of these vital ongoing events of 2004, you fail miserably to bring any attention and perspective to any of these issues in your man of the year issue. Instead we get Christian crazies arguing about the ten commandments and Merry Christmas, Desperate Housewives, and Scott Peterson. What happened to the media of old that used to inform the public instead of misinform them? You all should be very ashamed. On a side note, I guess I should congratulate you. You now will surely lead the pack of the submissive and complicit corporative media outlets when history judges this as possibly the darkest period in all of US history. I had previously reserved that spot for the NY Times with their Whitehouse puppet reporters screaming WMD's, but i think you stole their thunder with this one. History will show the mainstream media just sat by idly, allowing a murdering dislyxic imbecile to kill many thousands of innocent people, and systematically strip our country of 50 years of progress in all aspects of American laws, environmental issues, and civil rights. Even more tragic after witnessing top-notch investigative reporting all through the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Considering the way the media has historically been known to hold our government accountable, you, Time magazine, will now be known as the media clown of 2004. I am canceling my subscription as of today. Disgusted in a blue state, Ray Robinson
