Mother Jones

THIS is a magazine for the people...not afraid to tell it like it is...to uncover dirty politics (be it Republican or Democrat) or corrupt business. If more people would read this magazine, more people would be outraged at what's going on, and perhaps things would start heading in the right direction.

But this magazine isn't just politics. They have great articles on music, books, etc., as well.

This is no Time or Newsweek, kissing up to the politicians and big business that have this nation in such an awful mess. This is reality. Subscribe today.

But that's what you'll get from this magazine, and plenty of it, too. Although it's not the first magazine I would choose to get information from (I would probably choose Z Magazine over Mother Jones any day) it can still be considered reliable, and free from the right-wing spin that you would get with most of the other magazines found at your local or digital newstand.


Warmed Over Socialism....   March 31, 2002

The ageing 60's left sounds a little strident...and pathetic. While the best-seller lists are dominated by conservative mainstream publications - such as "Bias", revealing what we always knew - the worn-out left is still [pandering] to Marxism, enviro-nazism, and any form of anti-heterosexualism that the current fad embraces. If you like to laugh at the same old "blame {big-business, Christian, free-market, heterosexual, working-for-a-living, intelligent choice, monogamous, wise-use} individuals who are responsible for all of us loser's problems" - type articles, this is the magazine for you! I'll stick with the land of opportunity, hard work, and wise choices to get me through!


Excellent Magazine .....   May 11, 2004

Mother Jones is one of the most well written and well researched magazines on the market. It rivals all other publications that stray from the mainstream (such as The Nation) and is filled with articles that are critical of all government policies whether they stem from the left or the right and offers extensive analysis of policy and cultural issues. It is , of course , not for all, but rather for those with open minds who do not submit to political dogma (preached either from the left or the right). I highly recommend this magazine.
Also I would just like to point out that a magazine cannot be "leftist dribble", the only time that those two words can go together in a coherent sentence is if you were playing a basketball game with Karl Marx and you said "damn that guy has a leftist dribble..." I believe "drivel" is the correct word to use when you want to discredit ideas that you do not like without explanation.


Independent research is the only way to truth   April 6, 2004

Mother Jones uses an independent research fund to pay their journalists for news articles and research. They do not allow advertising or parent companies to get between the truth and what gets published. If you want to be educated on what is going on in the environment and government, and corporate activity in regards to both, you should read Mother Jones. It is unbiased. The search for truth should not be labeled as a solely left-wing or liberal activity. And if it is, then shame on those radical conservatives who wish to disassociate themselves from something noble.
