Although there's always the possibility that a media organ which identifies itself as liberal or leftist could be right about something, their word can never be taken at face value. The left lies about everything from crime statistics, to rape on campi, to hunger in the U.S., to violence of Super Bowl sunday, to women not paid as much as men for the same job....you get the picture. There's a lot more.
They have spread so many lies and falsehoods, they simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything. And since Mother Jones is the mother of all lying leftist publications, its word should be doubted automatically.
Lefties always think the masses should be disarmed so that the revolution can triumph.
Where’s that 1918 Red commissar poster, “Citizens! Turn in your weapons!”
