Just because you make a model rocket doesn't make you a rocket scientist. Homeschooling your kid doesn't make you a teacher. And writing unsourced, one-sided stories doesn't make you a journalist. Journalists adhere to guidelines. Salon is as much a news source as the National Enquirer.
To the second bolded, not being part of the main hub means they aren't mainstream.
I thought salon was recently partnered or was a sub with MSNBC or someone big.
