This is so odd. I've been receiving a Salon subscription since it came out but did not know about this angle.

When you sigh up for salon you can get three magazine subs:
- 1 year of Wired ($12 value)
- 1 year of U.S. News & World Report ($25 value)
- 6 months of Mother Jones ($10 value)

The kicker is the magazines send you a postcard to fill out and get a refund if you don't want the magazine. So far I received Wired and US News rebate forms. I've not received anything from MJ yet so if they do not follow suit then it could be just $2 back.

Heres the math:

$35 salon sub
-12 wired rebate
-25 US News Rebate
-10 MJ rebate
----
$12 in your pocket plus the warm feeling from supporting a great ezine.

Izzat cool or what?

Are you kidding? How are you supporting them by taking $12 out of their pocket and getting their content for free?

Great magazine?
You mean the magazine from the organization that's bankrupt and is going to go in the crapper because the American public has risen up from their delusion, grown tired of their ridiculous political slant and left them high and dry? Yeah, this is an organization I want to give my money to and help out. Good riddance to Salon- I give them until next spring, max, before they give up themselves.

Cold Deal.

I do not doubt that Salon gets my $35.

Print magazines are ad supported. THEY are the ones that give the option of refund. The postcard refund offers are from the rags and not the ezine. If you've been following the financial saga of salon you would bet your ass that they are not giving away any cash.

'sides MJ and US N&WR blows.

Prove me wrong and I'll send another $35 to salon.

Narrow minded haters have been hoping for this for years but salon refuses to give up the good fight.

'sides it's not anyone leaving anyone high and dry, it's the business model of an ezine in this crap Bush recession.

Thanks to Salon and others like them the hatred and lies of the fundamentalist right wing is finally surfacing. I mean what could be more unpatriotic than unvieling a CIA agent putting lives and years of hard work in grave danger? And how about the GOP's Lead cheerleader Rush Limbaugh getting fired for racism and being investigated for drug abuse in the same week? The GOP's cynical plan to circumvent the democracy by abusing the California recall process only to find out thier boy is a serial groper? Tom Delay's plan to abuse the Texas redistricting process (only ever has followed a census) to give the GOP more seats in the Texas state government? How about NO WMD found when we rushed to war because Sadam was an "immenent" threat to the USofA? How about Bush, Cheney and Co assuring us that Iraqs oil would pay for reconstruction when they new in advance this was also a lie? How about the riches tax cuts being more than offset by decline in their income caused by a deficit oriented economic policy (what irony). How about an energy policy being written by the very industry it should control. How about five of our boys being killed every week in Iraq so Bushes buds in the Defense and Oil industries can get even richer? How about being told we didn't need any help in IRAQ only to see our dipshit leader go to the UN hat in hand last month?

[EDIT] I forgot to say that all facts in this post can be verified in this weeks Google News, the The New York Times and the LA Times.

You see my friend Government is the only leash on the Corporate dog that the people have. INDEPENDANT organizations like salon help healthily skeptical citizens keep an eye on things when Big Business, the SuperRich, Right Wing Nutters & Fundamentalists take over government in a bloodless coup.

I took great pleasure that CNN.com's readers voted that the past weeks most important story was the CIA leak. What cynical, hipocritical, traitorous BASTARDS could do such a thing? I served in the Military in the late seventies and I am damn proud of it. To have some sleezy outfit run by an AWOL ex-addict out an undercover federal agent is beyond the pale.

DANG this got OT. Sorry. Schools out SynthesisI. Want to learn more about how we're all been getting butt-raped by the GOP while they're convincing you how good it feels, subscribe to http://www.salon.com. Here's a couple more sites you may find, in the immortal words of our president, "edumacational":

This won't help get back on topic butt How 'bout those Cubs?

Muahaha! And another left wing jihadist comes out of the closet. I'm not even going to give you the pleasure of reading all your jibberish.

Bump! (in an attempt to not let my fellow AnandTech'ers waste their money)

I've gotten the daypass a couple times at salon.com and I the few articles I read were excellently written with no discernible slant, but I wasn't looking for one either. I was impressed. I tend towards the libertarian (pro-choice, fiscally conservative, end the War On Drugs) if it matters.

Whichever side of the bed you get out of, it's always good to know what's brewing on the other side. Know your enemy. If all you read is dogma, you become a zealot.

Right. You refuse to even read my clearly stated positions and resort immediately to name calling.

Disapointing but typical of the extreme Right Wing.

Bump! (in an attempt to not let my fellow AnandTech'ers waste their money)

And this makes no sense at all.

Another day,

OT but Salon is a pretty well edited eZine, articles are lucid and well researched. Not to mention that they do a good job pulling those neo-con B@st@rds, who would get away with ruining this great country of ours, out of the closet.

Leaking the name of an under-cover agent, my GOD I hope that person rots in hell!

Salon definitely has my 35$. If I get the money back Yeaaa!

What the hell are you talking about? Steven Brill's newstand magazine Content?

Salon reported on Content back in the day but these are two very differant publications, one paper and one electronic.

What is this? Free crack day at militia HQ?

Another bump for Salon! Great staff, good reading. I almost read it everyday.

The site makes no attempt to hide it's political leanings but all the articles are well researched and thought provoking.

I'm another reader impressed by Salon's top-quality journalism and research, and even without the refunds $35 is very well worth it. Few paper magazines measure up to Salon's quality, IMHO.

Hot deal for those interested!

I'd not heard of this magazine, but it apparently up strong sentiments. SYNTHESISI: I'm sure you've risen far enough above an immature mentality to provide some basis for your claim that the (admittedly-encapsulated) facts put forth in YOMAMMA's post (for which he has posted sources) are "gibberish." Please, if you're going to respond so negatively to an off-topic post, replace your vacuum-empty ranting with at least some content in support of your view.

I'm not arguing for or against the content of Salon, and I appologise in advance for another mostly-OT post in this thread.

By the way, didn't yo mamma ever tell you, if you don't have something nice to say to someone, don't say anything at all?

wow a political "discussion" in hot deals. didnt see this one coming.

by the way, yomomma you demonstrate typical left wing manipulations to stretch the truth and fill in the gaps with lies.
I dont waste my time arguing with the ignorant such as yourself, but here is a hint: Rush wasnt fired, his "drug addiction" came from the pages of National Enquirer, and if you knew anything about politics you would know that arnold's "groping" allegations are an obvious last minute smear campaign.

and posting a link to google is a far cry from a reference.

However, I do appreciate Salon, as unlike your tired unfounded rants, they present intelligent discussion, and are usually well researched. I, unlike you, will gladly accept and ponder other's views instead of only seeking out views that coincide with my own. I search for true information, and since there is no such thing as zero bias, I research and read all sides to paint a total picture.

Blind party allegiance is pure ignorance and undermines the political system. Think for yourself instead of attacking the "other" party and blindly agreeing with zealots in your own.

You start by calling names. This pretty much cuts the knees off of any intellectual value someone may wish to attribute to your arguments.

but here is a hint: Rush wasnt fired,

I'll see your hint and raise you one: Rich people don't "get fired" they "resign". Only Rush knows this for sure but one thing you can be certain of is that he would not leave a good paying gig providing coverage in a new demographic voluntarilly.

"Limbaugh resigned from the show Wednesday, and later said he was leaving so the sports network's employees would be spared the uproar over his remarks." - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1631106

Sounds like pure bullcrap to me, but for arguments sake I'll give you that he "resigned". It's still a happy day in YoMammaVille!!!

his "drug addiction" came from the pages of National Enquirer,

Sorry but the Atlanta Journal-Constitution cites as sources CNN, New York Daily News, The Associated Press & your National Enquirer.

and if you knew anything about politics you would know that arnold's "groping" allegations are an obvious last minute smear campaign.

Pure spin. In an campaign that lasted what, three weeks, is there anything butt last minute? 'sides Arnold (who I love as an actor) stepped on his own pecker 20 years ago in Oui.

http://news.google.com/news?num=30&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&edition=us&q=Schwarzenegger++oui&btnG=Search+News

and posting a link to google is a far cry from a reference.

When I posted the link to googleNEWS 1/2 of the front page was a reference! -{)}

Good man. Now, did you subscribe?

You are attributing to me things that I did not say. You know what they say about making ASSumptions?

Indeed I have been so disgusted with the lack of a Democrat spine that until Dean I've not had respect for anyone in politics (save Pelosi).

Now there's Dean AND Clark kicking sand in Bushe & Cheneys face! This election is going to be a hell of a lot better than the last one.

Disgusted no more,

YoMamma!
