As you might have expected, Rolling Stone magazine is receiving widespread criticism for its latest cover featuring Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokar Tsarnaev.

RS made a huge error putting that punk on its cover.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see the reaction of a liberal city like Boston when a left-leaning magazine goes even farther left.
ReplyDeleteAny center- or right-thinking person already knows what to expect from Rolling Stone, so there's no surprise here.
Another way of OSCAMA to make terrorists look like angels.

ReplyDeletehuh? 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
