Creating some balance in the news

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 pointed out, being increasingly manipulated by the Right, itself. In this "Bizarre News" world of Rupert Murdock, Fox 'news', rigged election results and multiple fabricated conservative realities, Mother Jones is a true breath of fresh air. In its pages, the Liberal press lives on! In a style perhaps more sophisticated, but no less compelling and informative than the Realist of the 60's, Mother Jones fills in the gaps and corrects for the deliberately created distortions as reported by the mainstream press - on radio, TV and in print. Someone is lying. Reading each issue of Mother Jones helps me and my household keep some clarity about who, exactly, that is. We are Democrats, Liberals - and proud of both monikers. Mother Jones is an integral part of keeping our identities and values informed by well researched, thoughtful analysis and overall good journalism.
