Me's gotta a feeling that it would be money down the drain for this soon to be Rag. They're are so far in debt that I don't think they can keep chugging along. Oh well... I'll have to catch Conason at the Observer...

1. Mine expired a few months ago...
and I didn't re-up, either.

I told them when they hired Horowitz that I wouldn't continue my subscription. Not because of his opinions, but because of blatant dishonesty. Sullivan's almost as bad.

Salon is going down, and probably deservedly so.

3. May they sink like the Titantic!
Salon is a Rag Sheet.

2. you can always get their premium content with a free day pass for letting
them play an ad on the puter.

:D

4. Amazes me how quick one of the few high level liberal outlets we have
gets bashed here. When Salon is gone you guys'll miss it big time.

6. I am on my second subscription term
I think they serve a purpose despite the right wingers they put up. Rather like NPR.

7. With friends like this...
Lots of people have a hard time understanding that liberal means open to a range of ideas and opinions...typical of conservatives to miss the point; depressing for progressives to miss it. The name Salon didn't come about because they wanted to be confused with the Daily Worker or NewsMax.

9. That is exactly the point
Thank You. God forbid liberal opinions be expressed in a balanced and rational way.

5. TRUMAD, I GOTTA ASK
If I weren't too smart, could I start as a running back for Ohio State? Do you have to be a football player to get oral? Exams? At OSU? Isn't the Ohio State "championship" in the same category as the 2000 Florida vote? Silly Razorback wants to know. FLAME ME.

8. I'll re-up as long as they are around.
When every single news outlet was fawning over Bush, David Talbot and Salon were there with the straight talk. Important as I think DU is, I think Salon is just as important.

10. I'm on my 2nd subscription
And gave my girlfriend a subscription too. It's one of the best sites out there and I find it a little sad that DUers are so easily scared off by big bad Sully. He provides comic relief for me -- especially his situational liberalism every time the GOP bashes gays again.
