Westside Steve Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I find it offensive and I find rolling stone one of the most disgustingly unscrupulous rags available. and yes I understand the freedom of the press even with the minimal amount of attention it gets these days.

heckofajobbrownie Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 It doesn't really bother me. Probably wouldn't be my editorial choice, but I see how it fits with the piece, as in, "Here's a perfectly normal looking American kid. How'd he end up as a terrorist?"

WSS Are you upset because RS delved into the non music realm...or because it delved into this guys psyche and history and attempted to find out WTF is up with him. Or are you upset because you didn't gitcher pitcher on the cover of the Rolling Stone before this guy did, Dr. Hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Gipper its been generations since these people have been a purely music magazine. Where have you been? Furthermore I think the hundreds or thousands of young girls sending him fan mail should be steralised just to keep them out of the gene pool.

Westside Steve Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think it would be just as offensive as using a beauty shot of Lawrence Russell Brewer. Or joke pictures of Trayvon Martin's Corpse, but indignation is selective around here. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporTrail Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 My dad was all pissed off about this. I don't see this as any different from the usual attention and glorification that other mass murderers get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't exactly expect the "don't show the guy who runs out on the field" policy for terrorism. It's going to be covered. People are going to write about it.

calfoxwc Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Putting him on the cover is a disgrace. Just controversial to sell mags, even though they are glorifying the terrorist, and giving his rantings center stage. May as well put Charles Manson or Hitler on the cover. Just a slap in the face to those who were injured, and murdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairHooker11 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 A Massachusetts State Police officer released photos of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev that depicted him bloodied and lit up by sniper rifle sights in the aftermath of a massive manhunt, saying he wanted to show "the real Boston bomber.” http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07/18/19548234-mass-police-officer-releases-photos-of-evil-boston-bombing-suspect?lite Hooray for Tactical photographer Sgt.

Legacy Fan Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Desperate rag, dying form of media, marketing ploy. With that understanding, I still find it offensive. On Time or Newsweek, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Fan Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Addendum to my post: They're clearly trying to make him a rockstar with the style/tone and type of image they selected. It's the same pose they use of Jim Morrison, cobain, Madonna, etc. Real schwag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn't be my editorial choice, but I see how it fits with the piece, as in, "Here's a perfectly normal looking American kid. How'd he end up as a terrorist?" He ended up a terrorist because he started out as a muslim. But really, we need to find out what we did to make the terrorists hate us so much... right?
