Salon is about to dramatically change its business model. The company is expected to announce this week that it will require all readers to either buy a subscription for full access to stories or agree to click through several screens of advertising to gain limited access.

Poor lefties.  Hey, maybe it's still not too late to figure out a way to make someone else pay for their upkeep?  It worked for PBS and NPR...

Maybe they should branch out into liberal talk radio...*snicker*

"It's been a success in our eyes," Salon Vice President Patrick Hurley says. "You don't need a huge percentage of your free readers to subscribe. Just 7% or 8% and we'd be profitable."

If I may use this point to plug FreeRepublic.

You don't need to give a lot to keep FR up and going...If a thousand readers would give a nickel a day...the pledge drive would be over.
Just a nickel. Five Cents a day.

They are probably waiting for a huge news day, like War, to pull the plug on Salon. That way no one is paying attention and their pride does'nt get pounded to bad.

Talbot insists there's a need for Salon, maybe more than ever before...We're doing something that's important. Not just for ourselves, but for the nation and American journalism."

The most effective way to tell Talbot to shove it, is to donate to FreeRepublic. It'll put a smile on your face!

Salon will go the way of the Mammut Americanum and the
Smilodon because of the all encompasing
"RIGHT WING Conspiracy", commonly known to Capitalists and sane
minded people as MARKET ECONOMICS!

SalonDotBomb lost it's Yahoo message board when it went onto the pink sheets.

And to quote Rush LImbaugh, "It's The Way Things Oaught To Be."

I'm coming to the conclusion that the damned thing will never die. They have been bankrupt and out of cash for over a year. Every time they are about to close the doors, some lefty with few million bucks writes them a check for $250K and they call it a "loan" (so when the thing finally does tank the losses are tax-deductible).

There are enough lefties out there who will write a $250K check once a year that they can take turns doing this forever.

Drango-Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Clymers. Nice waste of Rat money to boot. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Y'All---AND YES, IT IS TIME TO DONATE TO FREEREPUBLIC IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. Thanks in advance.....

From the article:

"... Salon generally leans left ..."

Nuclear explosions generally make some noise.

The surface of the sun is generally warm.

DemocRATs generally lie.
