Salon is getting flak because it’s charging people to read news articles. I sent my money a while back to help support a worthy journalistic enterprise, and I urge you to do the same if you want Salon to survive.
Yes, Salon is capable of putting out fatuous garbage. So is every other publication I can name. But articles like this, a story about the heroic women who are challenging the Taliban’s misogynist repression, are a good reason to subscribe.
