WAY too many pop ups, including videos and annoying distractions. At least it's FREE, right? Probably is better if you have ad blockers or something.

NOT ENOUGH SUPSTANCE
August 18, 2018

So many ads that is it hardly a news site, way too many ads, far too many ads, Salon.com is An Advertisement magazine. As are all of the magazines on the racks today. I am not going to waste money buying pages and pages of ads which is why I do not read magazines anymore. Magazines are almost dead because people want Content Not Advertising for bovine excrement to waste money on

It is quite common to use ad blockers when browsing the web. Ad blocking technology actively prevents computers from being infected by rogue ads which aim to take over computers either to serve more advertising to them outside of the web, or to take advantage of stolen information. Salon, which relies on advertising, has opted to install a cyptomining script in order to take advantage of ad blocking users who are simply trying to protect their financial investment in the computer or device they are using to access the web.

GARBAGE FAKE NEWS
November 26, 2017

Fake news on Karl Lagerfeld (11/15/17). Did not fact-check. STAY AWAY! Karl Lagerfeld never predicted a satellite would fall on Paris in 1999. It was Paco Wacko Rabane.

I'm on the far left of the political spectrum but the kind of toxic identy politics pushed by publications such as these are pushing societal progress back decades.

Fake news
April 21, 2017

Nothing much to say. They wrote an article about "Pro-Trump rioters" at Berkeley but forgot to mention that it was the Antifa who threw Fireworks/bottles/stone at the Trumpsupporters when they were demonstrating peacefully. Can't believe you can be so biased

Salon = Trash
April 20, 2017

This is anything but a reliable news site. All opinion, no facts, no truth. Do not even use this site for any reliable information. The amount of cancer in this site is horrible beyond measure.

I only recommend reading Salon if you are an angry trash-talking liberal looking to read rants masquerading as "articles" by other angry trash-talking liberals (probably fresh out of college). If you happen to have any room in your head for other points of view or want to be able to make up your own mind regarding issues or "news" you will be sadly disappointed.

Some news sites are liberal like CNN, some conservative like Fox News. Salon.com is way left of CNN, they don't report the news, they give their opinions. It's basically a left wing propaganda tabloid.

Way Too Biased!
June 6, 2016

Had their app on my phone for months. Every time I read it, the stupidity and leftist spin was so obvious and thick. Objectivity and honesty seem to fly out the window with these guys. Finally, deleted it as it was not worth my time.

Sophomoric at best
November 8, 2015

You know those undergrad students who take a political science class and then go home for winter break and proceed to lecture everyone about how the world works? That's salon.com except perhaps more radical and fringe (and cringe) worthy.

Salon is a great website for those who believe they are intelligent and are left-leaning. The website is openly racist, unlike most liberal outlets that try to rely on coded language. In fact, one of the frequent contributors even published a book entitled "What is Wrong with White People?" They're the left-leaning version of Fox News, only with fewer facts and more logical fallacies, distortions and outright lies.

Horribly Biased
June 22, 2015

Spent a day reading the stories on here (and also Yahoo, which for some reason shares their stories.) So much for being partial. This is absolutely one of the worst and most racist and biased websites I've ever seen

Salon.com is bias. That much should be obvious the moment you read an article. Beyond the sheer weight of the site's partisan-pandering there is heavy amounts of haughtiness, cynicism, and really just rudeness. There is hardly any news, there are only partisan smears and over-generalizations. There is nothing objective about what is said on that site.

Salon used to have some good anti-war, pro-civil liberty stories in it. Now it is just a rag for social liberalism. It also has published pro-pedophile stories. I have absolutely no respect for them.

Straight up ultra liberal slant.
