  @Joan Walsh

  Dear Joan,

  Please don't hear this as being shrill, or trying to get attention, or fanatical. But I was thinking this morning as I rode the train to work, "Should I just send Joan Walsh an email? I wonder if she reads her personal emails?" Because something important (to me) has happened over these months and I want to let you know about it, because I truly think you'll feel it IS important to you and to Salon. Here it is:

  I used to consider Salon.com my NUMBER ONE, go-to Web site for political news and insight. In other words, the site to which I go FIRST THING each day when I want to see what's up. For several YEARS this has been the case. Honest to God.

  But after so many, many pro-Clinton and pro-Clinton-but-nuanced and under-the-radar-pro-Clinton articles... I feel that Salon under your leadership has LOST ITS OBJECTIVITY. As a result, I no longer make Salon my first daily news stop. Other sites have taken its place. Sure, I still try to visit Salon each day but it no longer holds its high ranking as the first place I go to get good, solid, alternative journalism.

  All right, I've said my piece. I hope it is not lost on you. In the spirit of what a "salon" is, I have come here to share what's on my mind. Thanks for listening.
