From analysis to reporting to final conclusion is worthless when attached to an agenda of making sure what's most important is skirted. How can you, still, after all but eight years of Bush's abusive gov't not include America's compliance in its failure?

Salon has so failed in its political coverage that I'm beginning to read these stories for laughs.

In fact, the cluelessness of a self appointed intelligentsia would always be amusing if not for the obvious destruction of a vital part of the world getting masked over. Tommorow, I bet you!, Joan Walsh will be shilling for GE telling us to "meet" her on Hardball to debate with some whacko from the "Right" as if doing so is indicative of any issue to any degree. She'll in fact do so after repeatedly being called out for such sad attempts at talent being misused! Do you guys lack the ability to make a buck that badly that all of your efforts end up adding to communication that can at best be seen as tabloid?

Here, in this instance, we have detail after detail presented without proper context. The fact of the matter is, no, the simple!, fact of the matter is that we've morphed as a society into Orwell's nightmare. There aren't a multiple set of conflicts. There is the one spiraling out of control part of the world motivated SOLELY by America's inability to control itself, to be responsible with its power. Any thought of this country not adding to terror is shredded by poppies, bombs thrown at PMs, Syrian opportunism, and, most of all, Kurdish promise. (What a joke!)

Yet, this entire country sits by looking for another sub-prime solution at best. A Blackwater type of operation perhaps will catch Osama at the eleventh hour and the show will end...good once again triumphs over evil...and, guess what? Global Warming's going down the same way. There is no war in the Middle East, Juan. There's simply these strokes to your ego your reporting provides man. Stop bothering the people with dangers that can't possibly exist if you're going to do everything but mention them.

Plus, people already know how this War's going to end...the man has told them so, you see.

Get a real job, Juan. Read Naomi Wolf's latest book, Juan. Being seen as a terrorist is what's bound to happen to one of you smart mouths and you don't want it to be you. I bet, though, when that happens you'll state the important facts then!

Please stop this weak reporting!!!

Step up and be a man damnit!!!

Step up damnit!!!

Step up!!!

You publish amity's letter as editor's choice when it couldn't be more of a misinformed piece of nonsense? Labeling liberals as unconcerned with foreign policy since, and, during, the cold war is absolutely idiotic. Is Bill Bradley someone this nut is unaware of? How about Patrick Moynihan. Tip Oneill didn't check Reagan on more than one occasion either I guess.

Fair immigration and human rights world wide have been part of the liberal platform for at least sixty years. Since at least the FRIGGIN MARSHALL PLAN!!!

Salon is more and more willing to push crap on us, no doubt.

Salon has no balls is why!

1/2 million acres represents 1/2% of the whole state of California, and if such a burn had occurred previously the Chicago fire would have a partner whenever its mentioned. This fire is a record breaking disaster, and it is man made. The worst part, too, is that the worst is yet to oome. 60 million in California by 2050 will probably be an underestimate is why.

After all, people go where the jobs are.

Ecoglogical idiocy aside, economic forces will be the determining factor in how we shape our response to nature's habitats and resources.

Capitalism takes no prisoners, though. And it especially devoures competing theories...Buy stock in companies that sell fire extinquishers, now!
