| A magazine with guts: true reporting, no corporate agenda | |
| Mother Jones is what Journalism should be: gutsy, honest, no-holds barred investigative reporting. Regardless of your political party, this is one of the last vestages of honest reporting left available to us.
Everything from world news, the envirnment, American politics and current events is researched thoroughly and reported honestly. A must read for people interested in more news than is available the newspaper, or in Newsweek and Time. If your tired of the pathetic blather that parades as news these days, it's time for Mother Jones. | |
| Time magazine should be ashamed | |
| Like one commentor said..."The Truth Hurts". It does...If you're happy with your Martha Stewart and Scott Peterson news, do not buy this magazine. If you want the real dirt, left or right wing...this is it. They shoot from the hip.
If you want the truth and not what you will see on the mainstream media, this is the magazine. They are well known to publish stories that the NY Times is afraid to publish. As a matter of fact, most of the writers on Mother Jones and The Nation used to write for the Times. And I just heard last week two stories written by NY Times writers that they're publishers wouldn't print. So guess who did? If you doubt me, look up the 25 Most Censored Stories of 2004 and 2005. | |
| Quite the Mother! | |
| I just got the first issue in the subscription I sent for about a month ago. They were quick to send me my first issue.
I had never heard of the magazine until they sent me a flyer highlighting what the publication was all about. I was intrigued the minute I opened the flyer, so I subscribed....blindly, I might add. The cost is right [$10] so I figured: *what the heck*! To me this is an interesting publication. Yes, it is journalism but it is refreshing and gets away from mainstream, *politically correct* gibberish. It takes a behind the scenes look, but doesn't go along with the *beat it into the ground* mentality that I get so sick of. I think it is honest and unbiased and almost reminds me of NPR [National Public Radio] reporting. You'll find a little of everything here. For instance, one of the articles in the issue I just received is another look at *The American Taliban* and his family, etc. I was amazed since we never heard anything more about the guy after they caught him. Very interesting article! They also had a story about a group of middle-aged Israeli women who monitor the actions of the soldiers in the West Bank...fascinating, humanistic story. I was completely intrigued by the story of William Zantzinger and Hattie Carroll and the song that Bob Dylan wrote about them back in 1963. Zantzinger, a white farmer, murdered Carroll, a black maid....and only served 6 months. He still lives in the same area. Wonderful story!!! Of course I ran to play the Dylan song afterward. All in all, the magazine is one I will look forward to every issue. A really pleasant surprise and a reminder to me that *you learn something new every day* is a motto to live by. I'll be subscribing for a long time. |
