Townhall Magazine (Print) [edit]
In January 2008, TownHall.com launched Townhall Magazine, a monthly conservative news magazine. In addition to exclusive content for the magazine, Townhall Magazine carries contributions from Townhall.com readers.[1]
Purchase by Salem [edit]
In May 2006, Salem Communications acquired Townhall.com and relaunched the site with the addition of podcasts of Salem's network and local talk shows, blogs run by Salem talk show hosts and the ability for any user to set up a blog on the Townhall.com network.[citation needed]
Audience [edit]
TownHall.com is oriented towards Republicans and Conservatives. Opposed commentary is removed on a daily basis from discussions of the articles. Accounts that post pro-democratic opinions/comments are removed. Registration has recently been closed after saturation of conservative user registration. Almost 99.9% comments posted on articles and opinions are pro-conservatives because of the lack of freedom of speech on TownHall.com.
Wikipedia Editors: Please request citation for the above Audience statement. It is an opinion and not substantiated. From personal observation, posted opinions and comments that are liberal or progressive in nature are easy to find for anyone who isn't too lazy to look for them.
