The real irony?? It is so incredibly hypocritical of big media like the New York Times to publish editorials about the apathy and inactivity of our generation while they completely ignore or misreport every mass protest and political action that the youth of this country HAVE been doing. Us youth are definitely to blame, I am not trying to say its not our fault. But I have no respect for the way mass media has ignored and misrepresented the activism that is happening. To address us only as apathetic losers is to add insult to injury. For protest movements to work, it takes awareness and recognition by the media.
Thus it is not only our government that we have become disillusioned with, but also our media.
Great editorial- this is so concise and articulate and I very much agree.
