Joan, you've crossed over the line from punditry with a point of view to out-and-out...well...I'm looking for some other word than "shilling". And I'm not having much luck.
I don't think I've criticized you in the past, but this piece was just awful. It's one thing to prefer a particular candidate in your publication. It's quite another to disconnect from reality and start scolding readers for making an utterly reasonable interpretation of Hillary's public statements.
This was inappropriate behavior. I might have expected such naked advocacy from a Murdoch or a Scaife. But that's why I don't subscribe to their ventures.
I do subscribe to Salon. And I won't threaten to stop; I'm with you for the long haul. But this sort of shoddy, shabby and intellectually weak punditry makes me rather ashamed to be a subscriber.
Please do better than this. Your readers expect more, and deserve more.
