Slate's reporters set me on edge. Quite a few of them take extremely one-sided views of topics and get very arrogant about their position. As a result, I feel myself repelled subtly when I see a Slate link, and I've seen a lot of similar Slate criticism. Trounced? I'm not certain. For what it's worth, Salon's literature articles are still among the best out there. Slate can't touch that division of Salon.
