Dear Lactnetters,
I don´t have a subscription but I regularly read Salon via a "Site Pass": 
you watch an ad and get a pass that will last you for 8 hours.

I had seen the Broadsheet "announcement" on the NYT article and sent them 
an e-mail before I even saw their response. I guess we will see some 
breastfeeding bashing instead of concentrating on the real issue: how to 
make sure that every mother has the information and support she needs to 
breastfeed her baby.

Warm regards,
