    Dear Joan

    I would love for you to tell us why you bother with Paglia. She's been a crass shill for right wing ideology for some time now. If you're looking for viewpoints from the other side of the political spectrum, aren't there any thoughtful, intelligent conservative writers you can tap on the shoulder? Or, is it all about ad revenue and hits from the Limbaugh brigade who flock here at Paglia's every utterance? Given the decline in quality of the articles over the last few years, why do you waste precious space with her nonsense? Salon used to be a favorite destination, but every day I'm finding fewer interesting articles and wonder why I bother to subscribe.
