I’m Already Bored of Republican Flip-Flop Coverage

Right now, it’s all ideological reversals, all the time:

McCain: “Which side am I on? As John McCain eyes the White House in ’08, he is at war with himself over Bush’s escalation in Iraq.” Salon, Feb 20, 2007.

McCain: “Welcome to McCain’s flip-flop express.” Philadelphia Inquirer, Feb 18, 2007.

Romney: “The Talented Mr. Romney.” Washington Post, Feb 20, 2007.

Romney: “Governor Romney, Meet Governor Romney.” Newsweek, Feb 26, 2007 issue.

That’s just stuff I found surfing the web today. If you have been paying attention, you’ll have noticed coverage of Romney and McCain’s flip-flops at this nefarious institution.

Late Update: It’s two in two days for the WaPo editorial section! “Mitt Romney’s Extreme Makeover” Washington Post, Feb 21, 2007.

This is how change happens.

One story at a time.

This investigative reporting takes time too. Months of research. Weeks of writing, editing, and fact checking—and putting together the photography, art, video, and audio that tell the stories in a new way, illuminating new perspectives and voices.

We can afford to take our time because we don’t report to oligarchs or corporations. We report to you, and for you.

And the stakes are high. Democracy is on the defense. We’ve been exposing corruption and scandal for five decades, and this is a pivotal moment in our country’s history. Will democracy prevail? We won’t wait for time to tell—independent journalism is essential for democracy, and we’ll keep doing our part to amplify the free press.

So, we’re asking: Will you join the fight? Mother Jones has been here for 50 years, and we need your support to fuel the future of investigative journalism. Mark our 50th anniversary with a gift of any amount.
