MOTHER JONES NEEDS YOUR HELP

We need to raise $390,000 in online donations by June 30 to finish our fiscal year break even. We’ve already cut everything we can. We cannot afford to come up short. It's tough right now. And there’s more about why this is so urgent and the big, entirely fixable challenge journalism faces in “News Never Pays,” or in this primer about our nonprofit journalism and finances. If you can right now, please pitch in at whatever level works for you. We need more help than normal this month.

The Decline and Fall of Sarah Palin

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF SARAH PALIN….The Sarah Palin chickens are coming home to roost, and I’m here to crow about it:

Me, on August 29: “Conservatives on the tube are really, really struggling to defend this choice. I almost feel sorry for them. I’m sticking to my guns that before long this will be seen for the debacle it is.”

My colleague Jonathan Stein, today: “Palin is simply not the giant-killer we thought she was. Take a look at this chart….she now has the lowest approval rating of any member of either ticket.”

The clear lesson from all this: more people should listen to me! Spread the word.
