From Fox News anchor Jon Scott, flailing around trying to describe my employer:

There’s a recent article in Mother Jones magazine, not exacty a….uh….magazine that is….what….how to put it?….against lightening up on marijuana laws….

Nice save, Jon!  This was just before quoting an excerpt from my marijuana piece — and needless to say, they chose practically the only paragraph in the entire story that had much of anything negative to say about marijuana legalization.  But I guess all PR is good PR as long they spell my name right, isn’t it?  And they did spell my name right….

UPDATE: Hmmm.  Bad day for Fox anchors.  Apparently Brian Kilmeade is upset because in America “we keep marrying other species and other ethnics.”

Other species?

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
