Yes I did. I also read the salon.com homepage. Most of it is political editorials. There is also a harrowing story about how a writer could not find some new hot clothing collection in Target (the writer uses language associated with violence and massacres to describe what happened to her favorite clothes).

Honestly, I do not mind political editorials, and I usually agree with the political opinions of Salon writers, but it is annoying when that is all there is. Occasionally I want to learn something new when I read the paper. I want the occasional deeply researched article. These used to appear in Salon, but not anymore.

And also, if you do political editorials you have to make sure you say something interesting. I can form my own political opinions, you know. Editorial writing is only interesting if it is especially incisive, moving and/or funny. And it is very hard to do that when you churn those editorials by the dozen.
