Ultra Left-Wing Media Outlet Salon Shuts Down After 31 Years
9th November 2026
Regardless of what people might think happened during the midterm elections (there’s some real weird post-election numbers coming out of certain states right now), wokeness is not an effective selling point for the political left. James Talarico had to renounce his insane woke statements from the Biden era to get any kind of traction in Texas. Abdul El-Sayed had to begrudgingly claim that he no longer supports the Muslim Brotherhood. Clearly, someone sent out a memo to turn down the volume on the Cultural Marxism.
The reason is obvious – Get Woke, Go Broke. And nowhere is this rule more apparent than the online media industry. In the case of left-wing web media, the result has been a well deserved bloodbath.
Ultra left-wing news outlet Salon launched in San Francisco in 1995 in the early days of the internet, proving yet again that nothing good has come out of the Bay Area for at least a century. Their stated ideological mission was to provide an “unapologetically progressive” and liberal “counterweight” to mainstream, corporate media. A hilarious notion given that the media was already brutally left-wing in the 1990s, but hey, Salon wanted to push that line even harder.
