I solemnly swear a mighty oath to DU, I will not go to Salon.com again
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 06:13 PM by PlanetBev
Knowing better, I went over there, read a column intellectualizing why Obama can't hope to win Ohio, and that we should all give up. The letters were even more depressing, with the usually trolls tauting that we should have picked Clinton.

Is it just me, or that site is worse than The New Republic?

1. But I just read an amazing piece about Palin's nasty little fundamentalist activities..
and it scared the hell out of me! Salon is a mixed bag. I don't expect all publications to agree with me 100%.

2. I guess it's partially a depression factor with me
They do have some good articles, but I invariably walked away hopeless.

4. Read it, avoid the letters section like the plague, and...
...write and raise hell (via their private email link) when they do a shitty job. Salon's not all bad, but they've gone downhill since Talbot left.
