Although I have recently noticed the feminization (for lack of a better word) of Salon that people seem to be complaining about, I don't think its that bad, and I think most of those who complain are being overly harsh. Joe Conason and Sidney Blumenthal are both still Salon regulars. Phillip Robertson still pops his head up every now and then. War room is as good (and popular) as ever. And, Salon is still doing long form, investigative pieces on things that other publications are not (witness today's piece entitled "Gulf Coast Slaves"). Ease up, people. If you don't like Broadsheet, DON'T READ IT. But don't condemn the whole site just because of that.
All of that said, Joan Walsh, please take note: most of us (myself included) don't want Salon to be any more feminized that it already is. Enough with the pregnancy and child rearing articles. Enough with the sappy essays on the virtues of crying in public. Let's stop this yinward shift right here.
Happy 10th birthday (unfortunately, I missed the first 5). Here's to another 10 good ones.
