I just visited Salon.com for the first time in a while and I’m not sure there is anything more they can do to make that so-called publication any worse. The ad creep has reached insane heights, they’ve abolished all of their sections (and probably fired the section editors), and scaled back their wide-ranging coverage to include only a few blog posts and a few articles each week. I’m glad I let my subscription lapse a while back — there is nothing left worth paying for. A sad state of affairs for what was once a pretty good, well-read, and influential online magazine, if one that teetered on the brink of bankruptcy for *years*.
