Salon, Nearly No Money and Ultramercials

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the coming-soon-to-a-tv-near-you dept.

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.

    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
