"Raise Rush Limbaugh's Blood Pressure! Keep Salon in Business!"

Salon's always had a lot of readers, by the standards of the web. The problem is that's not enough eyeballs to support a free site, and it's nowhere near enough readers to support the site's ultraextravagant limousine liberal spending habits. Also, a large chunk of their demographic is, shall we say, "suboptimal." And as you can see from JimRob's chart, they're not gaining any ground, while the other sites are substaining steady growth. Look at the chart when I add in WorldNetDaily:

Iron City?!?! LOL!! (so, what do think the "Fort Pitt" exchange rate would be?! sounds like College days to me...oh my!)

[blake6900]

What gives us the courage to keep fighting is you, our readers.

Yeah...all twelve of 'em.

If a left-leaning bilge-spewing website like Salon can't survive on the Internet, what makes 'em think some moron like Al Franken spouting the same crap on the public airwaves will?

Someone stick a fork in 'em...they're done...unless they can get a cash advance from some "rich Democrats".

[Smedley]

I've got two dollars. That'll buy me about 1000 shares of Salon and enough toilet paper for a month.

Hmmmm? Why would Rush even care about Salon ...??

[Sonny M]

There is only one thing, and one thing that I'm greatfull to Salon for. It helped me find Free Republic. For that, I shall be enternally greatfull. Now let me mock them at there demise.

[OpusatFR]

I thought this thing died already. Talk about an inflated sense of self-importance.

No one cares......

[clintonh8r]

Thanks!

Don't laugh, at $4.25 a case that was a cheap party.

[DAnconia55]

Salons numbers are fudged somehow.

There's no justification of the rank considering the content.

[tubebender]

How pathetic. Reminds me of a bit from the old "Laugh-In" show... Dan Rowan: Dick, do you realize that millions and millions of people are watching you at this very minute? What do you have to say to that?

Dick Martin: If each and every one of you could just send in one dollar...

Dan Rowan: You can't say that! It's illegal!

Dick Martin: How about a dime?

You can bet your sweet bippy, I remember that

[Timesink]

Hmmmm? Why would Rush even care about Salon ...??

He doesn't. It's just one more bit of proof that Salon's entire editorial mission is built on hate. "Don't subscribe because we're actually worth reading; subscribe to PISS OFF THE ENEMY."

[WOSG]

look on the bright side, it's less money going to leftists who can really do some damage with it.

[Tamzee]

Oh, I DO like that picture :-)

[Drango]

ATTENTION all Liberals! Please support Salon. They need the money...

Salon's top 4 board of directors:

David Talbot, 50 Chairman, Editor-in-Chief $191K

Michael O'Donnell, 38 Pres, CEO, Director 191K

Robert O'Callahan, 51 CFO, Treasurer, Sec. 149K

Patrick Hurley, 40 Sr. VP, Operations 149K

Gee these 4 selfless, generous, little-guy liberal hypocrits sapped a $680K salary last year out of the company's cash reserves while they booked corporate losses of $1.213 Million last year for the company. These 4 liberal leaches are responsible for 56% of the annual declared losses from operations.

Tell me they ain't "greedy".

[Senator Pardek]

Just juggling the #s in my head - that online piece of toilet paper once had a market cap of around $200,000,000? LOL!

[Enterprise]

Other than the headline I didn't read any particular rant about Limbaugh. Quite ironic though, in desperation, Salon.com uses the name of Rush Limbaugh to try to stay afloat. Maybe they should try names like Hillary Clinton, Barbara Streisand, Tom Daschle, etc.

You also forgot that Fox climbed to #1 without cable. All the major cities refused to carry Fox News. With 60% of the nation excluded from Fox News as a cable choice, they still climbed to #1. That to me is amazing beyond words.
