Odd to see a subscription link to The Guardian here, they are doing fantastic work so I understand people might want to kick back.

I will say their iPad version is excellently put together if anyone is considering taking the plunge.

All this Guardian praise neglects the fact that they have had all of their exclusives handed to them over the past few years, from Wiki-leaks to Snowden... and for no good reason other than that's who it was given to last time.

If papers such as the independent, etc. had been given this information, I'm sure there professionalism would have been the same or higher. Outside of handed-on-a-platter reporting, the Guardian has massively cocked up in the past (leading to the arrest of sources, etc.).

I'm pretty sure the New York Times was given info from Manning and refused to follow up. So...

And they sat on the warrant-less wiretapping story for a year.

Nevertheless, I think that supporting Greenwald and Miranda's paychecks is a worthwhile cause. They're taking a far greater hit here than the Guardian is, but the Guardian is supporting them. So an effective way of supporting Greenwald and Miranda is to support the Guardian.

Why is this on the front page? Am I missing something?

You're missing your flight.

Good idea. Let's show the media world that we care about topics like the NSA-scandal. I'm subscribing.

I don't have the funds to support the Guardian, although I appreciate the work they do. Hope they come out with a paid Android app by the time I can support them financially.

Their iPhone app is paid, so i assume their android version is...

You could use the Kindle for Android app

I wanted to subscribe, but I don't live near any place where they might deliver, AND I don't own a apple product.

I DID find this, http://www.theguardian.com/mobile/android/guardian

Giving it a shot to see if I can get a subscription through it.
