| IRS990/Description | 0 | COVERING THE BELTWAY AND THE 2012 ELECTION:SINCE WE LAUNCHED OUR EXPANDED 12-PERSON WASHINGTON DC BUREAU IN 2007 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF BUREAU CHIEF DAVID CORN, IT HAS CARVED OUT AN IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE NICHE IN THE BELTWAY JOURNALISM SCENE. IT STANDS WITH ONE FOOT DEEP INSIDE "THE VILLAGE" (AS DC HAS COME TO BE CALLED BY PROGRESSIVE BLOGGERS) BUT ALSO WITH ONE FOOT FIRMLY ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. IT'S THAT "INSIDE/OUTSIDE" STANCE THAT HELPS KEEP MOJO'S DC COVERAGE FRESH, FREE FROM THE HERD MENTALITY AND ADDICTION TO ACCESS THAT GOVERNS SO MUCH OF WHAT PASSES FOR COVERAGE OF THE NATIONAL POLITICAL SCENE THESE DAYS.WITH THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS DISASTROUS FOR THE DEMOCRATS, A GROWING INFLUENCE (NOT TO MENTION CONTROVERSIAL RHETORIC) AMONG CONGRESSIONAL TEA PARTY MEMBERS, AND THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S "MIXED BAG" RECORD, THESE ARE NOT THE MOST HOPEFUL TIMES FOR THOSE OF US WHO WORKED FOR REAL REFORM IN THE WAKE OF THE 2008 ELECTION. INDEED, ON MATTERS OF WAR, GAY RIGHTS, CIVIL LIBERTIES, AND CLIMATE CHANGE, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS FALLEN FAR SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS, NOT TO MENTION THE LIMITED REFORMS CONTAINED IN THEIR LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSES FOR HEALTH CARE AND FINANCIAL REGULATION - AND THIS, EVEN GRANTING THE ABSOLUTIST OBSTRUCTIONISM FROM THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DIFFICULTIES OF MOVING LEGISLATION THROUGH THE SENATE. NOW IS THE TIME WHEN SOLID COVERAGE OF DC POLITICS THAT GIVES READERS THE CONTEXT FOR THE DAILY NEWS CYCLE IS REALLY. LED BY BUREAU CHIEF DAVID CORN, MOTHER JONES' DC-BASED REPORTERS - NICK BAUMANN AND TIM MURPHY ON CONGRESSIONAL POLITICS AND THE 2012 PRIMARIES, ANDREW KROLL ON THE INFLUENCE OF MONEY IN POLITICS, KATE SHEPPARD ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES - MOTHER JONES CONTINUED TO COVER THE ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY EFFORTS AND POLITICAL FORTUNES AS WELL AS THE 2012 UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. SENIOR REPORTERS JAMES RIDGEWAY AND ADAM SERWER CONTINUED THEIR WORK FOCUSING ON CIVIL LIBERTIES, WHILE REPORTER STEPHANIE MENCIMER KEPT INVESTIGATING THE FAR RIGHT, FROM THE TEA PARTY TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. |
