Salon's swan song?

I have some bad news for the progressives amongst you. It appears that Salon Media Group, the parent of the online Salon Magazine is pretty much out of cash, and deeply in the red. While the site expenses shouldn't be huge, it appears Salon's staff must have some very posh offices.

As one of the very few "big" websites with a leftist bent, it's demise if it occurs will be sorely missed. In case you're thinking about helping them out, according to this article, Salon Media owes the landlord, in excess of $200,000. You can also read some more about Salon's situation at the referenced link.

On a more positive note, Andrew Sullivan, Salon's token conservative will no longer be taking up valuable drive space.

I'm ever hopeful that Salon will remain in some fashion, as it is sorely needed as a voice of reason in a wilderness of ill-researched conservative vitriol.

Peace,

Todd
