My wife has now forbidden me from reading Joan Walsh's columns as they make me too mad (I sneak read anyway once in a while just to see her get ripped in the comments).<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work here. Too bad this isn't built on a platform that would allow more of a community to form, wordpress, MT, etc. where folks could login and post (with moderation).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm delighted so many others are unhappy with what Joan is doing with Salon. I'm a charter subscriber there and feel bad about how she's taken it down the tubes.<BR/><BR/>Might I suggest a blogroll/links list of suggested reading as an alternative and get people to comment with suggestions.<BR/><BR/>http://www.slate.com/<BR/>http://www.dailykos.com/<BR/>http://www.thenation.com/<BR/>http://www.commondreams.org/<BR/>http://tnr.com/<BR/>http://talkingpointsmemo.com/<BR/>http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/<BR/><BR/>rwandermanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98663302091109149.post-76240084217182566862008-06-05T20:19:00.000-04:002008-06-05T20:19:00.000-04:00Thanks everyone, and welcome.

I've been a reader for a decade. I ended my subscription a couple of years ago because Joan's stonewalling and outright hostility to reader protests were making me tired then. But I've kept reading. And now, I just really, seriously can't anymore. <BR/><BR/>Salon is actually bad now. War Room under Alex Koppelman is nothing but regurgitated AP headlines, Broadsheet is nothing but regurgitated inflammatory British tabloid post headlines with smirky, low-level eyerolling by way of commentary, and every single damn political article is about poor Hillary instead of Obama.<BR/><BR/>I'm finally, finally, after an entire decade of reading nothing but Salon, migrating to other the other sites I only used to skim for cultural and political commentary. They've gotten better while Salon has just become appalling.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being funny, thanks for getting it!Shannon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318475373743916048noreply@blogger.com
