“If you want to a news update, this isn't the site for...”

If you want to a news update, this isn't the site for you. But if you want opinionated, intelligent coverage of everything that may interest an educated person, Salon is it.

“All republicans are evil and are trying to make a fascist america with no rights for innocent blacks”

Sorry I was $#*!ing brainwashed by the extreme, one sided, leftist news site that is probably written by libtard college kids that were brainwashed and are trying to brainwash you. Salon has never even told us that conservatives are remotely decent because they are. And, if republicans were like how salon describes them, we would kill them all and murder them in public but guess what? They arent because salon is liberal biased trash, and pretty much a progressive infowars.

Solon media is a corrupt cult of lying Marxist pig dogs that misleads American women. 70% of Americans no this 30% are naive and are too lazy to research or its just plain stubborn stupidity. They do not realize that The Biden Administration is made up of Marxist Communist that want to destroy America. I never was employed and would advise anyone considering involvement with Solon to take a step back and do some research.

Tip for consumers:
WARN EVERYONE THAT THE BIDEN, OBAMA and CLINTONS ARE 0CORRUPT MARXIST COMMUNIST PIG DOGS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWARE AND ARE GOING TO HOLD THEM ALL ACCOUNTABLE.

So many ads that is it hardly a news site, way too many ads, far too many ads, Salon.com is An Advertisement magazine. As are all of the magazines on the racks today. I am not going to waste money buying pages and pages of ads which is why I do not read magazines anymore. Magazines are almost dead because people want Content Not Advertising for bovine excrement to waste money on

Salon has yet to get beyond their clear bias and actually point anything factual. You're worse than CNN and that's saying a lot. You should close down your garbage site since you have very few actual readers and the majority of Americans know you're full of bs.

No integrity, a childish tone in every article, it's like a bunch of half-witted community college kids turning in half baked essays. For anyone who actually might take those gossip girls seriously, Salon is plain dangerous and toxic. And to the writers at Salon, read some Orwell if you want to understand exactly what kind of villains you are.

It's hard to see what they are trying to accomplish except to sow even more discontent. America is by no means perfect, but Salon finds a way to make absolutely everything that happens in America seem like the worst thing that ever happened in the history of the planet! It spews so much negativity that it actually sounds like most of the articles are written by Russian (and other "bad actor" state) trolls. At best, they are what the SVR and GRU refer to as "useful idiots".

It's interesting that this is considered "news" by Google and Facebook, because it's anything but. Republicans/conservatives/anyone even remotely holding a right-leaning opinion is evil, a conspiracy theorist, uneducated, and a bad human being. If you don't hold a far left enough opinion, then you are also part of the "problem". The writers blame anything they don't like on racism and/or white people (or other -isms, but usually racism) without providing any evidence justifying their claims. The Huffington Post has much more articulate left-wing propaganda pieces if you want to consume biased news without any independent or critical thought.

I picked four random articles from the site which started with "intriguing headlines." All of them lacked credible content from known experts or even cited sources. They pander to the dumbest of Internet goers who will gladly absorb what they read at face value and not go further into the topic to gather facts. How are they still making money? Are they?

The film critics are shallow plastic, unauthentic, probably just going through a teenage phase. Absolutely worthless opinions should not be shared

DO NOT try to comment on this site as their "rules" are so vague, and they love to delete for no reason while you are being insulted and named called by other posters who don't seem to get any punishment.

Tip for consumers:
Go away...

Salon.com is just too liberal to be useful to anyone - I'm all for a diversity of ideas in the press, but I think that Salon.com is sometimes too liberal to be useful. Now, I am a democrat, but I want to know the news and read analysis that is even-handed. Then I can make up my own mind.

For example, today's headline article is about Sarah Palin killing wolf pups. Don't get me wrong, I love the enviroment and animals, but right now our country is in financial crisis, shouldn't Salon be covering the candidates view on that?

I would like to hear more real citicism of democratic ideals, and more thoughtful analyses of polticians and policy. Then when I read a Salon article I can feel more comfortable that I'm not just hearing the democratic party line.

If you want far left propaganda without any real merit you're gonna love it. Otherwise read some real news

Far left news and pushes a false narrative with negative headlines using nothing more than "suggests" when citing a source. Dividing America with fake news is dangerous.

Ended up on this site via google "news". There is no news here. Various rants, fear mongering, "facts" all unsourced. Google should identify this as opinion not news. Actually, propaganda.

Right in the face of actual fact, Salon tries hard to save the left from hanging themselves, after the trap door opened and the neck snapped.
They believe their own lies so much as if the corpse is gonna come back to life and prove them right.
Absolutely one of the worste sites.

Absolute garbage and lies, progressive and Marxist garbage. Salon is to news, what cancer is the human body

Tip for consumers:
I don't pay for this toxic waste, MetroPCS shoves their articles in my face every time I turn the phone on, Salon is bigger lying garbage than CNN and MSNBC put together. Extreme leftist progressives, Marxist, socialists, and communists, destroyed the Democratic party, I've counted 70 times they said Trump's going to prison now, never happened never will, propaganda

Every article that comes up on my phone from salon.com is a complete and total fabrication. Nothing i have read has been the truth. It is a complete joke. Nothing but trash and laughing at them. Its quite sad.

This is extremely radicalized bias, childish, and pure propaganda. This site is mostly opinion framing and lying via omission. Fake News.

Avoid this propaganda.

Hard to believe that someone might actually get paid to write the tripe this "publication" wants made to be pushed on americans. Recently read an article about how florida and mississippi are just as racist as it was back in 1890 because felons arent allowed to vote.
Followed that statement up with florida having a state election enforcement unit established and present at polling sites because the presence of authority scares the black people away and prevents them from being able to vote! Lol what a load of garbage, these tryhard clowns are just trying to divide americans even more and think that theyre doing so without appearing like theyre the actual racist ones, alot of people eat it up but not all of us are so wrapped up in the nonsense these people perpetrate

Tip for consumers:
if you run across this crap, just put it where it belong, right in the toilet.

You want to be critical of Hallmark. At least, it's not a trashy, graphic, demonic, etc channel.
So many channels tear down people, values, morals, etc.
Why don't you work at improving some of the TRASH shows & channels?
I no use for anything that you have to say.

It is quite common to use ad blockers when browsing the web. Ad blocking technology actively prevents computers from being infected by rogue ads which aim to take over computers either to serve more advertising to them outside of the web, or to take advantage of stolen information. Salon, which relies on advertising, has opted to install a cyptomining script in order to take advantage of ad blocking users who are simply trying to protect their financial investment in the computer or device they are using to access the web.

WAY too many pop ups, including videos and annoying distractions. At least it's FREE, right? Probably is better if you have ad blockers or something.
