All journalists get facts wrong on occasion; they even wrongly speculate at times. Here's Salon's take on Eric Cantor's announcement last Thursday that someone had shot into his conference room window. All the barbs directed at Cantor in this piece sound like classic projection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A day after telling reporters someone shot up his office, and implying it was because he's Jewish, Cantor's story had fallen so completely to pieces that his aides didn't even bother to defend it anymore.
[snip]
Cantor's statement about receiving threats was as melodramatic as it was self-contradictory; he accused Democrats of stirring up trouble by talking about threats, barely a minute after he talked about threats he'd gotten himself.
[snip]
That may well be true -- why bother checking out the story ahead of time, when the only point of telling it is to confuse people in the first place? Even Democrats said Thursday they admired the way Cantor managed to shift the way people were talking about the threats and violence. After all, in the 24-hour news cycle, you only need to buy a few minutes to score a victory.

Here's the true story ( http://michellemalkin.com/2010/03/29/document-drop-fbi-charges-anti-semitic-nutball-with-threats-against-gop-rep-cantor-family/ ) as related by Michelle Malkin in her blog titled, "FBI charges anti-Semitic nutball with threats against GOP Rep. Cantor & family; "
Today, a two-count complaint and warrant was filed charging Norman Leboon with threatening to kill United States Congressman Eric Cantor and his family, and threatening to kill Congressman Eric Cantor, who is an official of the United States, announced United States Attorney Michael L. Levy and FBI Special Agent in Charge Jan Fedarcyk.
Hey Mr. Mike Madden of Salon.com, how about a retraction and an apology to Mr. Cantor? We won't hold our breath.

They do EXACTLY as they claim YOU do -- especially when you don't.
ALWAYS.
At 8 cents a share...how many total shares are there? How expensive would it be to acquire a controlling interest and then clean house?
They get an influx of money now and then to be kept operational. They are nothing but a DNC house organ yet they are considered a “credible” source by the rest of the Pravda Media.
Salon.com doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They have no credibility. They’re misleading the American public, to serve a political agenda.
Their stock is junk stock. they had like 60k shares traded all year, at 8 cents that's less than $4500...so I was just wondering how many shares it'd take to gain a controlling interest. It'd be amusing to take them over and reorg.
Yeah...and I’ll bet the circulation would rise dramatically!
Salon.com should be shunned by any person with a sense of common decency.
Not to mention an apology from the Zsa Zsa Post for hosting this racist’s rantings.
Not a bad idea since the White House considers them a legit news site.
One of the core problems in the US is the absolute betrayal by American media to report truth and facts and instead move to the realm of naked propaganda. The first step in reversing that could be to reverse that trend, and taking over media sources and cleaning them up, particularly if they could be had for a bargain.

according to Yahoo stats, this rag is tightly held, with a tiny float.
Yahoo! says 1.91M shares outstanding.
So you’d need little more than $77k.
Ah, so they've protected themselves from the market place, huh? Well, it was a thought. With 191 million shares it's not that far, but if one can't obtain those, that's another matter.
You mean lying is a way of life for them?
