Joan Walsh wrote she wasn't going to read Salon anymore after the latest HAHAGoodman article.
Then people stated doing the #blockSalon thing. Salon is not like it used to be. They publish cranks.

Not even over this primary, or anything overtly political. They were doing pseudoscience clickbait articles on addiction, reposting the same BS over and over, just slightly reworded.

Not at all surprised that they jumped the shark on the political content, too. #FuckSalon

They need to clean house and get rid of that damned hack, Goodman, first thing, then revamp their editorial section to reflect the current events of today. If they can't support Clinton, that their choice, but they should man up and say so up front to alert readers who may want to look elsewhere for news and views.

So much BS. Not just HAHA but Ben Norton, Camille Paglia and all the just out of college world experts they anoint as Salon political writers.
