Here's a nice bit of coffee-and-a-paper reading for your Sunday: over on Salon, the site's co-founder Gary Kamiya has penned a nice takedown of the paper of the Chronicle's lackluster Occupy SF coverage. As Kamiya writes (and as you might have noticed), the city's paper of record is, "so obsessed with the Occupy San Francisco movement's illegal encampment, its effects on local businesses and the unruliness of some of its members that they have failed to grasp its historic significance." more ›

In an effort to become "more of a true Web publication," the AP English class of the interwebs, Salon.com, laid off six editorial staff members. CEO Richard Gingras confirmed to Gawker that the online publication chipped away three editors, one writer, one photo editor, and one producer. The only name identified of the fallen six is culture editor Joy Press. Heather Havrilesky, we can only pray to God, will still remain with Salon after its facelift. Forever. She is, after all, a national treasure, one of the few literate folks who can write about TV without making you want to rip off your eyelids. She's that good. (And, of course, there's this.) Anyway, good luck out there, ex-Saloners. more ›

It seems the victim, according to ABC 7's Dan Noyes, "is questioning why the Alameda County District Attorney's office has decided to file only misdemeanor battery and false imprisonment charges against suspects."
