Tweeting Lynne Hirschberg’s phone number was apparently just the beginning. M.I.A. has now found a more creative way to channel her anger at the controversial, Hirschberg-penned Times Magazine profile, posting a song on her blog today called “I’m a Singer,” which includes lyrics like “Why the hell would journalists be thick as shit / Cause lies equals power equals politics” and “You're a racist / I wouldn't trust you one bit.” The refrain is a bit less specific, though just as charged: “I’m a singer / Never said anything else / I didn’t lie to you / Thinking of somebody else.” 

 Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.
– MIA isn't stopping at sharing Lynn Hirschberg’s phone number with the Twitterverse in retaliation for the reporter’s unflattering New York Times Magazine profile of the singer. MIA's latest move: a song for Hirschberg—aptly titled “IM A SINGER”—which poses the lyrical question, “Why the hell would journalists be thick as shit?” The obvious answer: “‘Cause lies equals power equals politics.” MIA posted the song and two audio clips supposedly from the interview on her blog, New York reports. The more damning of the two clips appears to prove that Hirschberg, not MIA, chose the decidedly bourgeois truffle fries—which made an appearance in the article, conveniently enough, just as MIA was saying, “I kind of want to be an outsider.” Listen to everything here.
