Mother Jones is unique among news outlets covering the 2012 election. We're a nonprofit dedicated to fearless investigative reporting, so we go beyond the daily play-by-play to illuminate the larger issues—like the influx of shadowy corporate money in politics. Will you give a few dollars to the Mother Jones Investigative Fund to support critical reporting? Even $5 will make a real difference.

Stories by Former Mother Jones Staffers
There is a reason I read Mother Jones first, 5 days a week. You do great exposes and stories like the internet warehouse slave article, the Hormel article, and the story of Ohio's working poor, shrinking middle class, pay erosion, etc. You were the only website who accurately reported last March that George Zimmerman did NOT get his gun back or bothered to show the actual photos police took of Zimmerman and the gun the day he was taken into the police station. Raw Story, Mediaite, and others merely indicated he waltzed into the hospital the next day with the injuries, you reported the whole truth. I think Zimmerman was an over zealous wannabe cop that never should've had a gun under any circumstances and most likely guilty of murder. That said, you kept your readers better informed than any other news source. Thanks for that, and kudos on the award.
