Someone mentioned how sad it was to see Salon "circling the drain" a few comments back. In the past few weeks alone it appears that not only has Salon been circling the drain, but now the drain has been identified as the vortex of vacuous commercialism. It seems like there's an identity crisis unfolding here. It appears that someone in top management (I won't name names) is attempting to assert a signature "look and feel" to this site as a testament to her own ego, rather than enhancing what the readership has come to expect from Salon. As with other corporate ventures bound for miserable failure, this one will follow a familiar path. The CEO class will have yet another financial conquest story to pad their inflated resumes with, and the rest of us will have lost yet another independent news and analysis source.
You're doing a heck of a job Brownie!
