And as other posters have suggested, isn't it time for a bit of soul-searching, an editorial meeting, and a decision to at least publicly make an endorsement of Hillary?

Trying to continue selling the fantasy that Salon is somehow impartial is utterly absurd.

You are truly in Fox News "We're Fair and Balanced" territory. But you need to make a decision, and show some integrity.

This sort of passive-aggressive coverage is unprofessional and insulting to your readership.

Apparently, you're not in on the biggest non-secret in town... Salon hates Obama.

That is why they pick the most unflattering photo they can find.

You said it!

Joan's typing it right now, and Walter Shapiro is doing his own sycophantic writeup about Hillary's 3rd place "win"...

for Joan to figure out how to spin this negative for Barack, and suck up to Hillary yet again...

for Joan's negative spin on the Obama win...

and stop making excuses...

And if you keep making excuses, read Annie Lamott's "Bird by Bird" and cut it out!

but unfortunately, you're getting the spillover of bad Salon juju that has been continually generated -- and continues to be just this week -- by your editor Joan Walsh, in her anti-Obama, pro-Hillary shilling campaign.

Unfortunately, the laughable claims of impartiality on Joan's part have made many of us understandably suspicious. Frankly, there have sometimes seemed to be a quota of anti-Obama/pro-Hillary articles at Salon, with Joan and her blog at the helm.

I give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that you write it like you saw it. Because I think you've proven time and again that you have integrity.

But do realize that some of the company you keep do not enjoy that same trust from many Salon readers, including some of us long-time "former" subscribers. I did put my money where my mouth is and did NOT ante up -- after YEARS as a subscriber -- as long as Camille Paglia column, Debra Dickinson articles, and the anti-Obama/pro-Hillary campaign were going to remain.

I trust you to be one of the only unbiased sources of political coverage -- well, you are biased...toward telling the TRUTH!

Thanks for an excellent summary of the Guatemala situation. You explained it far better than I could.

And thanks also for the point about charity. I cringe when anyone says "Oh, you saved him from a life of..." about my son. We didn't adopt my son as a philanthropic gesture. We wanted another child very much, and he is a joy in our lives.

Every day I try to do my best to be a good Mom to him -- and that's not an expression of charity or philanthropy -- it's just boring old mother love for a darling boy.
