Salon's posts on AA

As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, with one exception, all of Salon's articles about AA have been negative. Let's look at Salon's list of AA articles:

• Pseudo-science and Bible-thumping, the worst of both worlds: The problem with rehab, AA and calling addiction a disease Negative, obviously
• Addiction is not a disease: How AA and 12-step programs erect barriers while attempting to relieve suffering Another negative one
• The drunkard’s loop: How one writer fought her way back from blackout alcoholism While this article mentions AA, it is not an article about AA
• AA is not a fraud: Why haters are afraid to listen Salon's one and only positive article about AA
• Debunking Alcoholics Anonymous: Behind the myths of recovery Here is one of the articles from Lance Dodes Salon published
• The pseudo-science of Alcoholics Anonymous: There’s a better way to treat addiction Salon likes Lance Dodes' bovine excrement about AA so much, they published two articles from him
• Is my friend suicidal? This article mentions AA but is not about AA
• My sober conversion to atheism While not as negative as, say, anything Lance Dodes ever wrote, this article is pretty negative about the AA program
• “Inside Rehab”: How it could work better, and why it doesn’t Surprisingly neutral when mentioning AA, but this is not an article about AA per se
• “Workaholism” is real This article only mentions AA in passing
• I was a sober college student Not directly about AA, but describes AA positively
• I didn’t even want these kids! Not directly about AA, but describes the 12-step program positively

In 2012 Salon was neutral, maybe even positive towards AA. By 2014, they took the Orange Papers kool-aid and were posting negative anti-AA polemics. If Salon is going to survive, they are going to have to be more positive about AA. They posted Lance Dodes' bovine excrement -- why don't they post Thomas Beresford's articles showing that Alcoholics Anonymous really works?
