Salon
U.S. left / progressive
Salon is a U.S. news and opinion website owned by the private media company Find.co. It is openly progressive, and its coverage and commentary lean left. Its current coverage of the second Trump administration is broadly critical. This rests on its established editorial orientation and the general pattern of its opinion output. I did not review its recent coverage article by article.
