Another liberal propaganda outlet hits the dust. It will be missed by the Democrats.

I've never been to Salon.com but it can't be a leftist site because the article doesn't say it's a far
left wing extremist Web site as articles do (right wing) when discussing FR.

They are the only ones missing it. Just as they were the only ones weeping about the death of the magazine, George. Normal people could care less about the two. Now, if some more lefty crapola magazines/sites could just follow them into the trashbin.

I suggest that when the auction of their assets is announced, that we take up a collection to buy their domain name (www.salon.com), and then set that up to redirect to FreeRepublic. Wouldn't that be the ultimate "up-yours" to the lefties? I'm willing to bet that domain won't go for more than a few grand.

Maybe Daschle can give them a government handout to keep them going.

I won't miss seeing the words "Salon.com" under the names of guests on talk shows.

It will be sad if all their web pages, (which gave wonderful online evidence of their writers' biases) disappear.

Maybe they need to bite the bullet, and realize they need to plain, straight away pander to a niche market like the people who patronize Conspiracy Nation and the milder (but JUST as WHACKY) The New American do ...

Those conspiracy-mongers seem to be doing okay.

This isn't quite true. I've been eyeing the lefties for quite some time and most Democrats are less than satisfied with Salon.

Earlier this month, Salon ran an article critical of Media Whores Online and Bartcop, both long standing lefty websites. This has so enraged the left that they are now cheering at Salon's demise!

If Sludge had an archive, you could look back every year to see him gloating about our imminent demise. Here's some news and it's developing hard: we're still here and we'll be here for a LONG time to come, assbreath.
