‘ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING’: ROLLING STONE ‘THE BOMBER’ COVER SLAMMED BY BOSTON MAYOR, CELEBS; 15,000 DRUGSTORES WON’T CARRY IT

RS made a huge error putting that punk on its cover.

huh? Did you even read the cover? Here is what is said:

THE BOMBER: How a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical islam and became a monster.

The picture is what the kid looks like. It's to show that he was an ordinary kid who became something horrible.

Why all this fake outrage? I don't get it. Why don't people take 2 seconds and use their brains anymore?

Right on 10:00! Rolling Stone has actually been practicing journalism as opposed to the pap presented to us elsewhere.
The faux outrage stems from our fast social media culture where we must react first, think about it later (maybe).

No one who reads SBY News reads Rolling Stone on any regular basis.The only reason any of you have checked it out is because of this story and the cover photo.We should appreciate a publication with the balls to tell it like it is.We should also pray that those with tunnel vision, who can't accept anything outside of their limited field of vision will learn to appreciate Pulitzer level journalism.
