NO. Here's a sample from their press page.

Salon.com (NASDAQ: SALN) is an Internet media company that produces 10 original content sites as well as two online communities -- Table Talk and The WELL. The content sites, updated daily or more frequently, include News, Politics, Technology & Business, Arts & Entertainment, Books, Sex, Life, People, Comics, and Salon Audio, a digital audio hub which offers downloadable interviews and commentary from today's most compelling writers and performers.

I saw another article there on Salon on Congress' investigation into the industry's (more specifically Clear Channel's) pay for play modern-day payola scheme. Check it out

scouiscous (sorry spelt your name wrong) i think most of the billboards in the bayarea are actually rented out from clear channel cause the other day when i was sitting in traffic i was looking at billboards and at the bottom on the actual metal stand that they are posted on they ALL said clear channel on em. Dunno what that has to do with anything just thought id share it

bay_dezinz: you're correct. Clear Channel besides owning over 1200 radio stations also owns a significant amount of advertising billboards and if that wasn't bad enough also owns a lot of the large venues through out not only the Bay, but the whoule US. That is one of the reasons they are under investigation.
