8. Free enterprise is the American way.
I'm more critical of censoring ads.

5. That smarmy face is showing up all over.
MSNBC is really sinking the ad dollars on the internet for that jerk.
Do they really think netizens will turn on the telly for *ucker Carlson?

6. Salon nearly went under some time ago, cut staff & writers, and barely
Edited on Sun Jul-24-05 08:04 PM by Garbo 2004
stayed afloat with ads and subscribers' donations. I don't know their fiscal situation now, but I've supported them as a subscriber since the time it looked that they would drop off the net entirely.

An ad, even for "Buttboy" Carlson, is a small deal IMO if you really want access to the content...click and ignore it. Besides, Rachel Maddow is a regular on that show and apparently wipes the floor with him on a regular basis. :)

edited for speelling. oops.

9. They could fix things easily
If they chose to market to more middle of the road and liberal Dems. Its beyond me why all these media outlets keep trying to go after the same right wing market sector. :shrug:

11. Huh?? Drudge & others were chortling with glee and posting about Salon's
demise when it was on the financial ropes. Salon "markets" to the right wing? How do you get that? From its articles? I rather doubt Salon is on the favored list of RW media outlets.

Or that it takes advertising dollars from MSNBC and others so nonsubcribers can read premium content? They didn't used to have the daily pass thing at all and only subscribers had access to all of the site. Perhaps they should go back to that and see if the moderates and libs will open their pockets and subscribe to sustain the site. Unfortunately, that didn't work before. Hence the daily pass and the advertising.
