Mother Jones Magazine

Pros: straight news without corporate influence; leftist outlook on life and the world

Cons: well, if you are conservative, there's plenty, but in my opinion: NONE!

Review: Nursery rhyme collector? Nun who worked in Calcutta? Someone we learned about in school?

Each of these "descriptions" is equally inaccurate...In fact, Mother Jones was a liberal activist who worked for women's rights and...

Pros: Well researched stories which advance humanitarian causes

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: I recommend Mother Jones to anyone who wants to change the world for the better.

Review: Mother Jones is a magazine that pulls no punches when it comes to exposing wrongs, furthering human rights, ripping open environmental issues, and presenting REAL news in an unbiased and well researched manner.

Typical stories in MJ deal with...

Pros: excellent coverage

Cons: flaky design standards

Review: Mother Jones has changed it's format over the past several years, but it has remained loyal in covering some of the most interesting national issues. From Gay boyscouts to G. W. Bush's political hand-me-downs, Mother Jones presents a strong, opinionated...

Pros: Unabashedly liberal and NOT under the control of Rupert Murdock or the White House.

Cons: Would be hated by Consevatives (if they would read it!)

Review: Contrary to the mythology perpetuated by the Right-Wing politicos currently in control of the inner workings of our Federal administration, the mainstream media is not, in fact, controlled by the Left. It is, in fact, as many thoughtful commentators have ...

Pros: Liberal magazine with very balanced and insightful stories

Cons: Only bimonthly

The Bottom Line: Great antidote against the Big Media

Review: If you want a view on reality that is complementary to what the “Big Media” are feeding you, Mother Jones is a great choice. I was unaware that this leftist publication has been circulating for 29 years. Based in San Francisco and published ...

Pros: Great Reporting, Liberal Point of View, Cheap Subscriptions

Cons: Only Comes Out 6 Times Per Year

Review: Mother Jones is a great resource for anyone interested in the dealings of companies other than Microsoft and for those people who actually care about the world in which we live. Each issue of Mother Jones features an article about corporate exploitation...

Pros: Good, informative writing, low subscription price

Cons: only six times a year! Friends hardly ever give borrowed issues back

Review: If you've ever been curious to find out what all that Agent Orange has been doing to people in Southeast Asia, or how the black churches across the country are dealing with the AIDS epidemic, then start reading this mag.
Mother Jones is...

Pros: Hard-hitting, often amusing.

Cons: Makes me remember the world is screwed up.

Review: Although I'm amused by the cover headlines in the check-out line, I think it'd be great if the supermarkets had Mother Jones up there along with the Enquirer, the Weekly World News, and all that stuff. The stories in Mother Jones are every bit as...

Pros: Great politics

Cons: Too glossy and slick sometimes

Review: This country has had a long history of socialist agitators and hell raisers though I didn't learn about any of them in the watered down c**p taught in school. Mother Jones magazine is named after one of the best, most fearless, dedicated, social justice...

Pros: Insightful, In-depth coverage, Stories not covered by other media establishements

Cons: Liberal Bias, Can be preachy occasionally

Review: The best thing about Mother Jones is that the content is predominately original, and not to be found in other publications. There are stories given a great deal of attention in this magazine that never make it into the majority of national media...
