Rolling Stone Magazine....seriously? (lawyers, suspect, death, cost)

They are putting the surviving Boston Marathon bomber on the cover.....

Boston bombing suspect on cover of Rolling Stone - CNN.com

I won't read the magazine again, not even if the choice is that or Knitting World at my dentists office.

Yea I saw that...the caption is almost sympathetic too... "How his family failed him"...

I love Rolling Stone but for them to lower the bar like this is unreal. And I think it has to do with his "underground" celebrity. Females all but forgive the dude for his actions because they think he is "cute" or "sexy"....and I just can't shake the idea that RS is pandering to this sentiment. Almost glorifying it as "punk".

Very disappointing to see them use that picture. Also, the sympathetic angle they take looking for someone, other than the bomber, to blame. With the exception of mental illness or special need (and just like Trayvon) the only one to fail Tsarneav was himself.

They should have put a photo of a survivor with no legs below his pic.

Maybe even a dead child photo.

That's reality.

So is blaming everything on liberalism.

If anything, this is a publicity grab to boost sales....which isn't a political decision.

Can we please not go into poo throwing monkey mode and just discuss this heinous decision?

Seriously, it's a shame he was not killed in the police shoot out.

Think of the money it will cost in a trial, appointed lawyers, years on death row and his execution.

OK, this is not PC but a fact.

I'm surprised they wrote negative things about him.

Liberalism isnt about politics. It's a mindset. That mindset is at play here in this magazines decision to post bomber boy's pic. Its VERY relevent to the discussion.

Rolling Stone has ALWAYS been heavily into politics since its inception.

I didn't know that setting off bombs and killing people could get you on the cover of RS. I always thought you had to become a talented, acclaimed musician. Huh, learn something new every day in America...
