That may have certainly crossed someone at RS' mind, but I think the public forgets that they also really do print (or post) stories that aren't about music as well.

And while it may be more comfortable to believe this was a cynical ploy to drive issue sales, at some point I think we need to recognize that there's much more to it...

I happen to read their National News section regularly. However, the rag is one fourth the size it once was and IMHO is floundering and desperate. I happened to read a one page blurb on De Niro and realized it was the same three page article I had read a year or two ago condensed into one page. That shows lack of journalistic flavor and content to me.
 
I gave upon RS years ago. They assumed all music lovers were liberals, and the tilt they were taking on politics just got to be too much to put up with for the cover price...

I got a kick out of Taibbi....talk about how the other side sees things. Bush Bush Bush Bush Bush...
Sometimes he reminded me of a foaming at the mouth bear.

Stick to AM radio for your music and news.
 
Have any of you even read the article?

Im trying to find a copy but everyone is pulling it before I can grab one. I wonder if it is on line any where.

Why? Because they put something on the cover that makes America uncomfortable? Because the face of terror doesn't always look like what we've been conditioned to believe it is? Isn't that what *actual* journalism is often about?

It can't always be Beiber on the cover...

NO! RS has always been a crap tabloid news mag. I boycotted it since the hypocrites(who allegedly know rock and roll) think Michael Jackson belongs in the Hall before actual rock musicians. Beiber can go F himself, too. Now read the entire entry before picking and choosing what is convenient! 😛

And they haven't got the music scene right either. You are obviously defending a publication you don't know about and commenting simply because America was attacked, the aggressor is glorified, and we should accept it. Good thing you live in America and take our real freedoms for granted 🙄

That's an outright lie, because the issue hit the newsstands today and I've seen plenty.

Well there you have it. Since you saw one, That means that in his area there are plenty and he is an outright liar. WTF?

Many retailers have pulled the issue or stopped it from being sold.
