Mother Jones' circulation increased sharply in the early 2000s, though it has dipped slightly during the Obama administration. The magazine says total circulation is 215,000, about three-quarters of which are paid subscriptions.
Anon was once in the magazine buisness, though his mag was sucessful unlike Mother Jones.
Their paid subscribers are probably a tenth of the stated figure, and newstand sales are close to zero.
Advertising rate base is depended on circulation - more on newsstand than subscription because everybody gives away subs to pump up the rate base.
According to the "Neiman Journalism lab" MJ is published by The foundation for National Progress.

And who funds the Foundation for National progress which exist soley to publish Mother Jones ?
Why it's the notorious nationalist, George Soros .
The foundation was established in 1975 and the publication in 1976 with the declared intent to preserve journalism from corporate influence and interference, and has sought to write often about corporate interests. Foundation for National Progress is a regular recipient of left-of-center billionaire George Soros’ money through donations from his Open Society Foundations, as well as donations from other progressive organizations and special interests.
The dollar amounts to keep this money losing psyop dog afloat are considerable:
"Mother Jones magazine’s corporate parent, the Foundation for National Progress, has received substantial contributions from Democratic-aligned donors. George Soros’ Open Society Foundations gave the Foundation for National Progress $485,000 in 2008.[14] Between 2000 and 2013, another project of the Foundation for National Progress started in 2006, the Media Consortium, was given $675,000. The Media Consortium is a network of left-of-center outlets, come together to coordinate efforts and share data.[15] Mother Jones has also received significant grants from the MacArthur Foundation, including a $300,000 grant in 2014, and a 5-year $1,500,000 grant in 2016."

Every IO should be self supporting, ie make money while subverting the host country.
Mother Jones has been unable to achieve that possibly because of the ideological ninny mid brows who operate the this seditious structure.

Here are some IO achievements:
"journalist" David Corn torpedos Mitt Romney
In 2012, Mother Jones released clips and stories based on a surreptitiously recorded video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at a private fundraiser in which he described 47 percent of voters as believing they were “victims” who could not be convinced to take “personal responsibility and care for their lives.”[18] The recording and subsequent backlash is sometimes credited with having seriously hurt Romney’s chances in the election. Mother Jones’ writer David Corn’s research into Romney
In 2014, Mother Jones senior writer Shane Bauer worked undercover as a prison guard at a privately operated prison in Louisiana big expose (of rival bloodline business?)
Being commies they don't pay staff.
In 2013, Vice News documented Mother Jones’ participation in a trend among progressive media organizations of failing to match their labor practices with trade unionist rhetoric about minimum wages and labor union rights in intern compensation
They called Richard Spencer "dapper" - caused a lefty Reeeeeeeee.
In 2016, Mother Jones wrote a controversial profile of white supremacist leader Richard Spencer.[28] The magazine published a significant profile of Spencer which described the advocate of ethnic cleansing and Assad regime apologist as “dapper” in its original headline
& they once said Vaccines might be harmful but after a shitstorm of criticism (and call from Soros(?) backed of the claim.
In 2004, Mother Jones gave space for anti-vaccination arguments in an article titled “Toxic Tipping Point,” which allowed for speculation that “the CDC, the FDA, and other health agencies” were “covering up evidence that a mercury preservative in children’s vaccines caused a rise in autism.” The magazine now notes on its website before the article that “Since this story was first published, the scientific debate it covered has been settled: Vaccines do not cause autism.”
