Fake news
April 21, 2017

Nothing much to say. They wrote an article about "Pro-Trump rioters" at Berkeley but forgot to mention that it was the Antifa who threw Fireworks/bottles/stone at the Trumpsupporters when they were demonstrating peacefully. Can't believe you can be so biased

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.

NOT ENOUGH SUPSTANCE
August 18, 2018

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.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 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.

Some news sites are liberal like CNN, some conservative like Fox News. Salon.com is way left of CNN, they don't report the news, they give their opinions. It's basically a left wing propaganda tabloid.

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.

Salon = Trash
April 20, 2017

This is anything but a reliable news site. All opinion, no facts, no truth. Do not even use this site for any reliable information. The amount of cancer in this site is horrible beyond measure.

Salon used to have some good anti-war, pro-civil liberty stories in it. Now it is just a rag for social liberalism. It also has published pro-pedophile stories. I have absolutely no respect for them.

GARBAGE FAKE NEWS
November 26, 2017

Fake news on Karl Lagerfeld (11/15/17). Did not fact-check. STAY AWAY! Karl Lagerfeld never predicted a satellite would fall on Paris in 1999. It was Paco Wacko Rabane.

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

Very poor film critics.
November 23, 2020

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

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.
