It's always bad news when a good, interesting publication goes under. Sure, I disagree with great swaths of its content. But Salon also did a lot of first-rate journalism. I fear they're doomed, and I'll be sad to see them go.
They actually did have a few interesting features, and a few good thinkers, if only as tokens - Horowitz, Paglia, and lately Norah Vincent.
BUT ... they were Clinton Kool-Aid drinkers, ready to sacrifice anything to preserve the SinkEmperor. That cancels out anything good they might have ever done.
