I'm not a subscriber, but a frequent visitor. I've always admired Salon's intelligent, engaging writing and knack for hitting the right tone. I can only wonder what happened here. "Broadsheet" is stomach-churningly bad. I'm a woman - that means I'm supposed to be fascinated by "celeb dish" and Katie Holmes? The suggestion is patronizing and insulting. To make matters worse, the writing is terrible - lukewarm rehashes of news stories that weren't interesting to begin with. There is nothing to suggest an intelligent woman got anywhere near this stinker at any stage of its misbegotten development. Please, end it now and salvage the last remaining shreds of your credibility.
