aren't terrorists cool, kids?

That was the most disgusting thing they've ever done. Who the frick posts a flattering photo of a terrorist on their magazine cover? Not to mention, wasn't Rolling Stone originally like a entertainment, music, movies, pop culture magazine originally?

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

Tears? Nah. But it is sad. Rolling Stone magazine is a piece of Americana. Sad to see them flail their way out like this. With putting a Boston bomber on the cover and sketchy Virginia story. Trying to be edgy bit them in the arse.

But the headwinds buffeting the publishing industry,

Ah yes. It was those nasty headwinds. It had nothing to do with the horse poop between the covers. Trademark excuse of liberals: blame it something that can't really be defined. And be sure you make the explanation "complicated".

The liberal policy of dumbing down America to the lowest common denominator (for votes) has claimed yet another victim from its own ranks.

I love it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is 99% of the reason.

Not according to their own statements.

Plus, several magazines have given themselves new or prolonged life through their online presence, like WaPo, National Review and others.

Don't pretend that this has little or nothing to do with them destroying their own credibility with false political witch hunts while greatly abandoning their roots - music.

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.

---

My parents subscribed and I used to read every issue in the 80's and 90's but they fully screwed the pooch with the "rape" story. Hard to feel bad for an organization that has no problem ruining lives without the slightest bit of fact checking.

Trump needs to buy it and name it Trolling Stone

This would be hilarious. He could use it to go after Congress and the media every month.

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

I'll give them $1 for it then model it after Motor Trend.

Another one bites the dust: Rolling Stone up for sale

Between posting unsubstantiated claims about a priest and an even bigger screw up with the VT "scandal", I'm shocked that they haven't cleaned house yet.
