The death of magazines + getting sued and damned for ruining the lives of people you falsely accused and campaigned to eliminate = bye bye.

quote:

But the headwinds buffeting the publishing industry, and some costly strategic missteps, have steadily taken a financial toll on Rolling Stone, and a botched story three years ago about an unproven gang rape at the University of Virginia badly bruised the magazine’s journalistic reputation.

And so, after a half-century reign that propelled him into the realm of the rock stars and celebrities who graced his covers, Mr. Wenner is putting his company’s controlling stake in Rolling Stone up for sale, relinquishing his hold on a publication he has led since its founding.

Tears will be shed. Not by me, but by someone, I'm sure.

Well, at least they seem to acknowledge that some of it is self inflicted

The Trump Organization should buy it and turn it into a toilet paper factory.

it could be called "T" magazine and feature the god emperor on the cover every week.

and then watch as they attack the concept as unhinged, racist, etc.

Little bit nostalgic here. I can remember when Rolling Stone actually meant something and was relevant. I couldn't wait till that new monthly issue came out.

Unfortunately, probably people who are even loonier than the current owners, like the freaks who took over Teen Vogue.

That's what happens when you publish nothing but slander and lies that have ruined people's reputations. I don't feel sorry for that company one bit. If you want to be a political publication, fine. But you have to have real investigative journalism, not the fear mongering, false information bullshite that they've been selling.

Blows my mind that woman was still retained after the shite storm she created with the UVA frat story.

Good riddance. It's sad that they've been so polarizing and vindictive and anti-American that I feel not one iota of sadness at this news.
