Salon: "The urge to mourn is being replaced by the will to fight"

We won't give in
One-party rule. One-sided media. Fight back with Salon.

But with each passing day, the urge to mourn is being replaced by the will to fight. And from the torrent of e-mail pouring in to Salon this week, it seems like you feel the same way. You're angry that Bush's campaign of fear has set the stage for another four years of theocratic zealotry; you're outraged that Republicans have seized on a slight 51 percent majority as a sweeping mandate for their radical agenda; you're insulted by the rise of a news media that seems dedicated to lobotomizing the American public.

Salon feels your passion. And I want to let all of you know: We won't give in.

The 2004 presidential campaign unleashed a tidal wave of new democratic energy. Hundreds of thousands of new activists came to life, and the organizations that harnessed this electricity will not disappear.

Salon will continue to provide the insightful commentary that reminds us why democratic values are so vital these days. And we will also keep publishing the kind of reporting we need to shine a light on the Bush administration and to understand both blue-state and red-state America. We have no intention of retreating to our blue-state strongholds. All of America is our beat. And we will continue to be guided by the conviction that fact must trump faith in journalism and politics. And that knowledge will ultimately set us free.

All Mr. Talbot wishes to say at this time?

These things take time.

general do not believe the election was stolen. Kerry included. It's up to the people working on this to prove it.
