Rating: - the RIGHT kind of LIBERAL
With regret, the word "liberal" is a dirty one these days. And in an era where the criminal often gets more rights than the victim, and the unborn get no rights at all, it's easy to see how the good-intentioned get demonized.This magazine highlights what I believe are the good, RIGHT-minded LIBERALS. The kind that hate government corruption and seek to expose it. The kind that care about clean air, and the kind who hate what corporations are doing to wreck the environment. The kind who love peace and hate war. These are the people I happily and readily identify with. Get this magazine; you'll be in good company. According to the amazon.com site, people who subscribe to Mother Jones are also getting Atlantic Monthly and Harpers. This trio of magazines really is the cream of the crop (or at least a portion of it). It's nice to see great investigative journalist at its purist, just a non-profit magazine fighting the good fight without coming off as conspiracy-theorist quacks or foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics. One star deducted because it comes out just six times a year--that's a long time to wait for a magazine, especially a quality one.
Rating:  - A top News magazine
Unlike TIME or Newsweek Mother Jones magazine is willing to take on the big corporations and the sacred cows of government. It has been a publication we have read for decades and is fair. Liberal for sure, but also fair. They took on politicians who were in the corner with the tobacco companies. People like then California Speaker and now San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. They have exposed the hypocrites who fight porn and the hypocrites within organized religion. They have been on the front lines on racial and ethnic issues long before the average "news" magazines gave a damn.
Rating: - Want the Truth?
Mother Jones has been a source of intelligently researched and unbiased information for as long as I can remember. It is one of the few publications that gives readers the TRUTH about happenings in our nation whether environmental, political or social. (A fact that really irritates most conservatives since the truth about them is rarely flattering.)
In these times when right wing propaganda is on every television channel, in every newspaper, and most other magazines -you will always get the FACTS from Mother Jones. Almost twenty years ago, I read an article in Mother Jones about the Bush boys' thievery and plundering of our Savings and Loan Institutions. Information that was censored, denied and covered-up by most other publications. I've been hooked on this magazine ever since.
