That was nothing more than CNN quoting facebook posts by the perpetually outraged. Terrible, even for CNN.

Rather disgusting. Oh look, a teen heartthrob who was failed by everyone and it turned him into a monster..... WTH?!

Contrast that with front pages they've used of conservatives or non liberals. So you can say it's not a liberal thing, but essentially it is.

Only in America are terrorists also considered "victims".

I won't read the magazine again, not even if the choice is that or Knitting World at my dentists office.
My first reactiion was this but I had to change my mind. I don't like it, but we celebrate each and every high profile murderer in this country, we even frequently give them the best lawyers.

Rolling Stone cannot begin to catch up with all the news networks who broadcast every detail of a murderers life and mind. If your a mega-narcissist, a high-profile murder is the ideal way to show yourself off... it's better than all the social media combined!

I'll give RS a pass, at least they have Matt Taibbi calling out all the white collar criminals.

The price control piece he wrote was great....a lot of good information in it. But not without extreme liberal slanting... Of course, he blamed the lack of regulations and not the fundamental issues at work in the financial sector.

Ugh, Britney Spears was on the cover. Talent has nothing to do with it.

Screw Taibbi. I believe he was among those that celebrated the death of Andrew Breitbart
