Salon
Salon has a far left bias in its daily reviews of domestic politics and provocative cultural topics. The American Journalism Review described Salon's political views as provocative and liberal, while many readers have noticed a uniquely progressive, Northern California style in the website’s content. Accordingly, the AllSides Bias Rating™ for Salon is far left, a rating we have a medium confidence level in. A majority of nearly 3500 AllSides community members agreed with this rating, while 29 of those who disagreed gave Salon an average bias rating of 70. This score falls in the middle of the lean left bias, but it is not enough evidence to change Salon's rating.
More on Salon
In addition to politically liberal commentary, Salon covers a variety of topics including reviews about books, films and music; articles about modern life, including relationships and sexuality; and reviews about technology. Founded in 1995 by David Talbot, it was created by former San Francisco Examiner staff members who departed the newspaper looking to explore digital journalism. The website has maintained its progressive style over the years, producing stories in the format of a “smart tabloid” in order to reach popular audiences, as Talbot said in 2008. Although it has historically been unprofitable, Salon offers both free and premium content, with about 15 new articles posted per day.

Lawyers for Hunter Biden, the Biden son clouded by personal controversies and a recent conviction for lying on a form to buy a gun, filed a lawsuit against Fox News on Monday over a miniseries they had posted and then taken down from their digital streaming service.
The program, titled "The Trial of Hunter Biden," was a six-part docuseries released in 2022 that featured a "mock trial" about overseas financial dealings that landed him in a federal tax indictment.
In April, complaints by Hunter Biden's legal team over sexually explicit images of their client induced the right-wing media network to take the series down. At the time, a Fox News spokesperson said the outlet was "reviewing" concerns about the program and had elected to take it down "out of an abundance of caution in the interim."
