Salon suddenly has a new posterboy for their pro-Kerry campaign, Eminem. Thanks to an anti-Bush song and video, the rapper is suddenly a favorite son of the magazine, which has called him to task in the past for his misogynist, homophobic lyrics. But hey, all that’s forgiven now, because the man’s a democrat.

I’ve grown weary with Salon as the election season has progressed, mostly because they’re becoming less of a news source and more of a cheerleading squad for John Kerry. That’s their prerogative, of course, but that doesn’t mean that I need to treat them like a source of balanced news. I do, however, still read King Kaufman’s Sports Daily, because even though Kaufman is a liberal, he rarely lets that spill over into his sports commentary.
