I think it was on this show that you commented on an odd opinion expressed by Mother Jones magazine. I noticed a similar discrepancy in an opinion piece that appeared on the back page of thier most recent issue. I think it's quite possible that Mother Jones has become infiltrated by the right. I also notice that Will Durst is working as a schill for the peripheral canal advocates - which is another bad thing for California. I wrote "Progressive" magazine and told the editor that Will Durst was taking the wrong side of this issue. Yet, he still writes for them. So, I now consider both "The Progressive" and "Mother Jones" suspicious bearers of progressive news. I do not consider many of their attitudes as truly progressive and I do believe they are sneaking in issues that are important for the one percent under the guise of being progressive organs. Therefore, they are the enemy too. I have nothing but contempt for both those magazines now. I knew there was something suspicious about them suddenly able to provide subscriptions for $10. They had to sell out to do that. And, they might think that a few messages from the wrong side is worth the price; but, it's not as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for noticing the same thing I noticed about Mother Jones. NOt the same Mother JOnes we once knew. Huh?
