Sure -- I don't have anything to link to, because I didn't keep links, but over the last two or so years, and especially during this presidential election, salon.com started making me really uncomfortable in terms of their ideas about race and gender and class. The classic gender example is the very existence of broadsheet, which is not a feminist perspective on news and politics, but a blog about women and women's news, which both reifies the differences between men and women and implies that the rest of the site is not news for and about women. Since they don't blog about PoC, the examples are harder to find, but there were a bunch of stories that used classic "what? I'm not racist I'm colorblind!" buzzwords about the Obamas.
I really like Glenn Grenwald's columns there, which is why it was hard to stop going, but I started to wince at story headlines, so.
