I am interested in a REAL magazine of progressive politics and environmental conservation. Most of this is poorly researched invective.

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.

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.

Are you kidding me!!! I have never seen a more biased "news" magazine in my life. Unfortunately for me, this magazine was a gift to me (obviously as a joke)and now I have been put on every socialist organization's mailing list and must put up with Dean's campaign propaganda.

This rag is typical leftist dribble; blame everything wrong with the world on Bush and the Republicans. Of course, as with the liberals and the DNC, they offer no serious solutions, just blame. This magazine actually promotes radical socialism as if the world would be better under some Stalinist regime. No thanks, I enjoy my freedom.

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.
