Russ Smith on Radar and Salon

Gawker · 02/21/03 10:55AM

Russ Smith of NY Press fame takes on Radar and Salon. He admits up front that he just "doesn't like" David Talbot (the founder of Salon) and points to a quote in which Talbot insinuated that American democracy would collapse without Salon. As for Radar, Smith says it sounds like every other "opinionated magazine about news, pop culture, style and politics that's geared to a young, urban audience" out there. We're not above skewering Salon or Radar, but it sounds like Mr. NY Press has a bit of indie mag envy.
