Here Comes Mother Jones

From an email from Mother Jones:

Right after Labor Day, non-profit Mother Jones will be the first U.S media organization to open a major news bureau in Washington D.C. in years!

We’re bringing our kick-ass brand of fearless, independent journalism to the nation’s capital defying what the commercial media is doing – closing bureaus, cutting reporting staff, replacing news with fluff, all so they can cash in on short-term profits.

We refuse to accept inside-the-Beltway go-along-to-get-along collusion between the media and government. Our reporters are independent — smart, connected, and unbeholden to Wall Street, to advertisers or to a partisan view.

What a concept! Great idea! You go!
