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.
I never bothered to go there, too many free news sites and such.
I do get really turned off on the liberal media. Did anyone see Aaron Brown crying on CNN when the republicans won this last election? That was the last straw for me. American media is just way to liberal these days, purposely inflating issues to gain votes/ratings.
The media is supposed to be impartial, reporting the facts and leaving us to draw our own conclusions. I can't think of a single media outlet that is friendly to that notion.
Could you point out this right wing media plz? It's been quite a while since there was a right wing centered media outlet, everything is liberal 24 hour news like CNN.
Accurate is in the eye of the beholder these days, especially if you are claiming liberals are accurate. I think you are in serious need of a dose of Rush Limbaugh.
