This Pisses me off.

Selling magazines and profiting on death. Immoral. 

[ACUDANUT]

 As a Fellow Cop, I can guarantee he has women who want to marry him.
He is probably a hero in the middle east.

[A383Wing]

someone should have shot him...would have saved us a lot of money

[bull]

I haven't heard of anyone in the US on any political plane that's happy with this maggot's face on the cover of Rolling Stone.

[Mike DC]

  
Yeah, that's blatant hero-worship.  The words say he's a bad guy but all the imagery is set up to glorify him.  


But this is nothing new.  Rolling Stone has never had any political or ethical credibility IMHO.  Trash sells.  
 

[Ghoste]

I quit getting Rolling Stone regularly a long time ago because they decided to somehow make every article promote their blatant political agenda.  Once in awhile if there was an article on an artist I really respected I would still pick it up but after this act of sensationalist stupidity I just don't think I'll ever give them another dime of my money.  Deplorable.

[bull]

Trash sells.  
 

I doubt that in this case. Seems they've crossed every line this time.

[Tilar]

Why is that son of a bitch still alive?

The gov. hasn't made thier money off of him yet. There are probably a few others in line to make a quick buck off of him as well.  Gotta score brownie points.

The National Enquirer gets sued all the time.  It only matters if the price of the lawsuits outweighs the profits from what they do.

One occasional step over the line won't hurt Rolling Stone any in the big picture. 

[Back N Black]

Rolling Stone had Charles Manson on the cover when he was convicted. They will do anything to make a buck.

[GOTWING]

do you think magazines will be a thing of the past? what is the purpose of a newspaper anyway?

[F8-4life]

Ted bundy, hell even john gacy had a legions of female fans if Im not mistaken...As for the magazine cover, all I will say is people are sick and if you throw "business" into  the mix the sickness can be seen easier then ever.

[Mike DC]

  
The problem is not who they put on the cover, it's how they did it.

They shouldn't be idolizing the kid.  There isn't any existing trend of people doing it to write about.  RS is creating/pushing the idea on its own for a buck.    

[ACUDANUT]

It's the Liberal Media at it's best. 

[Old Moparz]

It's the Liberal Media at it's best.  

It's simply the media. There is nothing liberal about it anymore since there are only a few major corporations that own all of it. That's called a monopoly & it used to be "illegal" until regulations were eased or removed entirely by our corrupt political system.


As for Rolling Stone, it's just another publication trying to sell copies. I don't read it & may have only bought it twice in my lifetime. I think it was in poor taste & a mistake that they put the photo of a POS on the cover, but why is that any different than 99% of the other crap that makes front page?

[Mike DC]

 
Remaining neutral & balanced is not where the money lies.  Taking sides makes money.  Either side will work.  


Same thing with how the media portrays individuals.  Either building someone up OR tearing them down is easier & more profitable than trying to portray them honestly & fairly.

Huh? Is that why Bush let Bin Laden live so long....cashing in?

Yeah, that sounds pretty fucking stupid too, right?

Put it like this, some people are just out to make a buck, even at others expense.  Here's a nice example.  http://news.yahoo.com/ny-woman-accused-posing-marathon-202353374.html

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Instead of portraying him as Dzhokhar McDreamy, something like this would have been more appropriate.....

[Supercharged Riot]

Im sure its debatable
and based on previous publishing not surprising
Thats the first amendment for ya

[hatersaurusrex]

Supporters of Tsarnaev, who believe in the face of overwhelming evidence that he's innocent of the charges against him...

...99.999999999999% of which are stupid teenage girls...
