Have to agree with the general statement. Rolling Stone obviously did it to be controversial (or more aptly, generate fake contoversy) and pump sales. But it's hardly surprising. News and publications have been doing this for years. As many have mentioned, it's more indicitive of our society as a whole than it is the example of a bad decision by Rolling Stone.
My only concern is the fact this case is terrorism. In a paradigm that is actively trying to recruit, this type of glamorization my actually encourage others.
Of course they have been saying that about media for year for all types of violence and vice and statistically it's untrue, so, maybe not.
