Crazy lefty here. If you read the post, you...Hi! Crazy lefty here. If you read the post, you'll see that what he said was that being "outraged" by the cover lead to increased sales AND that the outrage was more visceral than thoughtful because the article doesn't promote, love, or endorse Tsarnaev. For the record I was pissed about the cover only because I didn't think the cover (as opposed to the article) was necessary. They didn't do it with any other news stories like this, as far as I'm aware, and I believe they did it BECAUSE it's a flattering photo and he looks like a rock star.<br /><br />NONE of these issues mean we're "showing love and support for a dirtball Islamic terrorist." At worst, it means that Matt is putting aside any personal beliefs to express support for a private company to do what it feels is in it's best financial interests. That's how all the neocons think the world should run, so a more apt criticism would be "Way to abandon your so-callled liberal idealism, Matt, and raise the corporate flag. Sell out." (Of course, even that would be nonsense.)<br /><br />I guess what I'm trying to say is get bent, you reactionary piece of garbage. Try knowing about something before giving an opinion so then everyone can just think you're a tool instead of a moronic tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318595009260847646.post-9712972427205305502013-08-01T22:47:50.955-04:002013-08-01T22:47:50.955-04:00All Rolling Stone did was put the subject of their...All Rolling Stone did was put the subject of their main story on the front cover like other magazines have done with the likes of Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh, and Ted Kaczynski. Those with the most outrage are the ones who are truly "glorifying" this guy.

Like we should care that this dying fish wrapper sold a "whopping" 14,000 copies on news stands? <br /><br />All that says to me is that -- even though it got tons of free publicity over its decision to "victimize" a vermin, scum terrorist -- Rolling Stone even couldn't muster a lousy $70K in sales despite having almost 1,500 retail outlets.<br /><br />No need to cancel your subscription, Mr. Blogger. RSM will be out of business by the end of the year. It's hemorrhaging because it is an irrelevant publication. Or, maybe ole Jan is praying every day for another terrorist attack?
