John E. Warnock, co-chairman of Adobe Systems and a longtime financial backer...

There's the understatement of the week.

Well, considering Abode's knife-in-the-back mods to their own software packages followed up by support to a turbo-Leftist site, I'd say I'll never purchase another piece of Adobe software.

Stupid b@s+@rds. Pink right down to their underwear.

Looks like Salon will stagger through the election, then fall over dead.

"Rolling Stone Editor and Adobe Executive Put $800,000 Into Salon Web Site (Bad Money After Bad!)"

Let us all hope that they are just a generous in their giving to the Dean\Clark Election efforts.

I love it when liberals throw money down a rat hole.

Interpretation: PR type coverage from an adoring liberal press mixed with liberal pity cash couldn't buy enough readers to keep this shipwreck afloat.

Since Salon began in 1995, the company, based in San Francisco, has received much news media attention for its aggressive political coverage and cultural commentary, but has struggled to find a business model to support its journalistic efforts.

One would think that Warnock would pay attention to his own corporation. In the tech boom of the last 9 months Adobe has hardly reacted. ADBE: 4/1903 = $36.15, 1/14/1904 = 37.15.

Seems like they have a hard time running the old check book out there. I love it when those communist stinky hippies waste their money. Just less money they have to spend on Birkenstocks.

Good news! Now if $oreA$$ and the DNC would just match their funds, it would even be better news.

>Jann Wenner, the founder and editor of Rolling Stone magazine and chairman of Wenner Media, said yesterday that he would invest $200,000 in the Salon Media Group, the financially struggling Internet media company, and join its board.

So much for the thought
that the world is defined by
supply and demand ...

Nobody on earth
is demanding more Salon.
But it just won't die!

Charity never comes free. I guess Warnock and Wenner will now be cutting the pay of all their illegal nannies, cooks, housekeepers, gardeners and corporate office cleaners, to make up the difference.

They are just buying political advertising in a way that CFR never addressed.

Are the NYT readers so stupid that the paper has to tell them twice how long Salon has been in business. First they said 1995, then a couple of paragraphs later, they were able to deduce that this equates to 8 years. Or else they are just so impressed that it has lasted this long that they had to stress it.

The more money the rich lefties put into useless, rarely read, boooorrrrring sites like Salon, the less there will be for other far-left causes that really do damage.

I say "keep shovelling, guys."

Also, I hope their landlord keeps up with the news. Last time I checked, Salon owed a couple hundred thou in back rent.
