Mother Jones

Left-Leaning B — Mostly Factual

On Extra Extra, Mother Jones is grouped with left-leaning outlets, a placement drawn from the consensus of independent media-bias raters (AllSides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check) rather than our own opinion. Its reliability rating of B reflects generally factual reporting, though it may frame stories to fit an editorial viewpoint. That rating is a guide for weighing what you read here, not a verdict on any single article.

We are currently tracking 10 recent articles from Mother Jones, published over the past 3 days. Recurring themes in its latest headlines include Work.

The best way to use this profile is comparatively. Read Mother Jones's coverage of a story alongside how outlets on other parts of the spectrum handle the same event — the facts usually overlap, but the emphasis, language, and what gets left out often do not. Other left-leaning sources we track include CNN, NBC News, CBS News, and ABC News.
