Pros: Liberal magazine with very balanced and insightful stories
Cons: Only bimonthly
Summary: 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 ... read more

Cons: Sometimes views can be too unbalanced to maintain credibility.
Summary: This is a very interesting magazine that plays an important role within the U.S. media as a serious magazine covering current issues from a liberal perspective. In between covers, you get a lot of information and opinions at a pretty low price. The ... read more

Pros: Exposes issues that sometimes get little or no press coverage.
Cons: A little too narrow-minded sometimes.
Summary: I've been reading Mother Jones for about 8 years now, and I have seen the magazine go through some editorial and design changes -- not all of them have been good.
On one hand, Mother Jones does expose issues that may get little or no coverage ... read more

Typical stories in MJ deal with ... read more

Pros: Great Reporting, Liberal Point of View, Cheap Subscriptions
Cons: Only Comes Out 6 Times Per Year
Summary: 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 ... read more

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!
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Great politics
Cons: Too glossy and slick sometimes
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Hard-hitting, often amusing.
Cons: Makes me remember the world is screwed up.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Insightful, In-depth coverage, Stories not covered by other media establishements
Cons: Liberal Bias, Can be preachy occasionally
Summary: 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 ... read more

Nov 24, 1999
Pros: excellent coverage
Cons: flaky design standards
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Informative, diligent in its investigations
Cons: Occasionally uses shallow reasoning
Summary: Mother Jones doesn't hide its colors - it is liberal. I pick this magazine up three or four times a year at the bookstore; sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.
Mother Jones is best as an investigative magazine and puts together a great ... read more

Pros: Decent content. Cons: I've had better customer service at fast food joints.
Summary: I am impressed with MJ content, but cancelled my subscription due to abysmally poor service issues. I was innundated with junk mail after subscribing (they sell your address to nonprofit direct mail lists) - a serious faux pas, I would think, in light of

Rated Show by the Epinions community Dec 26, 2005
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!)
Summary: 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
