Salon is no more. The left-wing site is shutting down. It’s no secret why: its business model won’t allow it to survive. It’s a tough business that demands a ton of time and energy. Steve Kornacki, Joan Walsh, and other progressive writers have either started or edited at Salon. And yes, there were some shocking articles posted here, like a Hispanic Bernie Sanders-supported piece writing about what Trump really said when he meant that Mexico was sending its rapists here. Yet, you know the saying: a broken clock is right twice a day.
Something absolutely perfect about the fact that Salon needed three attempts to post about their own demise https://t.co/8GAl9WmHAr
