Salon, Nearly No Money and Ultramercials
Adam9 writes "As Salon fights for survival, they have introduced a new advertising program that allows you to receive a free 12 hour pass by clicking through about 10 seconds of advertisements. Currently, the advertisements are from Mercedes-Benz. According to the article, they've lost about $79.7 million from their start in 1995. They also have about 45,000 subscribers right now." Jamie also pointed out this article from the WSJ, as well as the words from Salon themselves about it.
Sheesh, in their letter to subscribers, it appears to me that they'd rather blame President Bush and the Republicans for their struggles (and for everything else too) than actually address the problem (not enough readers are interested in paying for ultra-highbrow, leftist rants cleverly disguised as intellectualism).
Do they use that excuse in their SEC filings too?
Liberals always blame everyone but themselves. It's really classic liberalism :)
People in America are fed up with it. The liberals caused the economic mess we are in and left it for the Bush administration. Then they go on TV and claim Bush is the root of all evil when the problems date back before Bush was even running as a candidate.
Typical Democrat liberals, blame everything but their own wrong ideas. They haven't come up with anythiing original since the protests in the 60's-70's
Nice try.
Blame is one thing, responsibility is quite another. Just try and deny the economic mess wasn't started int he clinton administration. Please try and deny that I would love to shoot you down.
The dems however deny this flat out blaming Bush. Conservatives have no choice but to put blame i.e. responsibility where it lies in this argument.
Nice try tho, if you weren't a liberal and capable of rational thought I would continue, but I wasted enough time.
Just an example of Democratic liberals not knowing how to manage money if you ask me.
"OMFG a recession? RAISE TAXES!"
"But given our country's recent and violent list to starboard"
What, like defending our nation? Jesus, give it a freaking rest already with that liberal propaganda.
I just want that crap site to die. The worst, liberal crap done in the name of "journalism" that I have ever read.
I already did my time, 7 freakin years ago. You just dont quit with the stupidity do you?
The fact you can say Bush isnt defending our country makes you a traitor in my eyes. Its idiots like you that let Bin Laden exist (Carter anyone?).
Run along now little one, you ran out of lies years ago.
