The whole pink, sassy feminist angle is annoying, yes, and maybe even offensive to women.
However, what I see as the real problem here is the blogification of Salon. Before anyone had ever used the word "blog", Salon was a source of well-reported, well-written articles. Nice long articles you could really sink your teeth into.
Granted, War Room was a good addition. There certainly is a place for fast analysis of political stories with our short newscycle.
Then came the War Room redesign. It's a blog, so a design that looks more blog-like and less new site-like makes sense. Ok, no problem there.
But now you've redesigned the ENTIRE site to look more like a blog, and cutting down on the well-reported stories to bring us even more blogs.
Why would I want to continue to subscribe to Salon, or even read it, when I can just as easily subscribe to anyone else's crappy blog? The way this site is going, I can't imagine even wanting to subscribe to its RSS feeds along with the other blogs I read when my subscription runs out (sadly, it's going to take a while, as I subscribed right before you started making all of the All Blogs, All the Time changes).
