Of course not. Who ever said Salon.com is slanted must have been lying. Otherwise they would not have partnered with such bastions of fairness and balance as MoveOn.org, The Guardian, and Air America Radio.

It's just an ugly smear campaign that people say Salon is left/lib. No truth to it.

I especially like the "independent news organization" bit. Perhaps it is not beholden to AP or Reuters, but it surely isn't trying to claim objectivity, is it?

Salon.com Announces Election-Year Initiative With MoveOn, The Guardian and Air America

NEW YORK, March 9, 2004 -- Salon.com announced Tuesday night a series of ambitious election-year initiatives, including the opening of a new Washington D.C. news bureau as well as strategic partnerships with MoveOn.org, The Guardian of London and the new progressive radio network, Air America.

The Website, which bills itself as "the largest independent news organization in the country" will also make the announcement via an email to MoveOn.org's 2-million plus members, MediaChannel has learned from a memo sent on Monday to Salon board members from company editor and founder David Talbot. . . .

Salon, founded in 1995, has established a solid reputation as a credible journalistic voice on the Web, though as a business it has never been profitable. In recent years, the company has experimented with multiple revenue models. It now focuses on a "Salon Premium" subscription model supplemented by advertising revenues from companies including Visa, American Express, Mercedes-Benz, HBO, and Microsoft.
