Tom Tomorrow leaves Salon for pastures greener and more beautiful.
I have no idea if Salon will be replacing the big hole "Tom" leaves behind, but based on the recent trends in media consolidation, mindless deck-chair-shuffling, the mad dash towards the nonexistent Center, and the frantic jettisoning of anyone or anything outside of the charmed circle who has the temerity to want "money" in exchange for their services, I would not be surprised to see, say, a "Mallard Fillmore" or maybe just a one-page-per-week reprinting of every Chick Tract ever published being brought on-line to fill the Tomorrow void.
Unless of course they can throw enough cash in the air to coax an edgy, sure-fire powerhouse like "Dondi" or "Cathy" out
I would consider the latter unlikely.)
On the upside, Glenn Greenwald will still be on hand to mete out brutal retribution against people who disagree with him.
So they've got that going for them.

Except for Greenwald, Salon is just awful. On a good day some of their stuff is mediocre; usually it's sickeningly god-awful tripe. A HuffPo wannabe.
