There was a great deal of Moonbat ANGST over Wal-Mart employees using food stamps.
Well, now we see can see yet another instance of Leftwing Hypocrisy. OFA, which advocates for the minimum wage, doesn't pay its full time interns anything.
Interns at Mother Jones Magazine are advised by HR on how to apply for Food Stamps.

OFA is now accepting applications for full-time and part-time HQ Interns for the Spring 2014 and Summer 2014 HQ Internship Programs in Chicago, IL, reads the job posting listed at Organizing for Actions site, BarackObama.com.

Recently, Vice magazine documented several liberal news publications that rely on unpaid internships, despite editorial positions in favor of a living wage and an increased minimum wage.
According to Vice, one former intern for Mother Jones, a liberal magazine, confessed to having slept on an air mattress for six months while I worked there because I couldnt afford a real one. Another intern told Vice that in their first meeting as a Mother Jones intern they were advised by human resources to sign up for food stamps.
Vice also identified The American Prospect and The New Republic two left-of-center publications as outlets providing unpaid internships.
