Any other Salon Premium Subscribers Mad About Lack of Vote Fraud Coverage?
I'm accustomed to Salon giving a great alternative viewpoint on these kinds of issues compared to corporate outlets, but their relative silence on this election is astounding.

They gave great and extensive BBV coverage leading up to the election, and then a quick "Nothing to see here" story by Manjoo, a tip of the hat from Galbraith, and then nothing???

WTF?

1. I don't know what's wrong with them. I didn't renew my subscription
because they've changed. They were the lead on Selection 2000 with articles every day. I don't know if they felt they needed to "Move Center?"

They've had constant financial problems which I've never understood. But,they got a big donor last year and always seem to find money from somewhere when they need it...:shrug:

3. Fuck'em. Take matters into your own hands.
You have to get the message out yourself, because they're not going to do it for you.

4. True dat.
It's just weird, because they have always been so reliably independent. It's like the staff at my favorite publication has been replaced with pod people.

5. Another strange thing...
They removed Sex from their section headings. What's that all about?
