But in general...the writing is among the worst published writing I've ever read. It's meandering, it's self-indulgent, it's downright stupid and completely missed the goal of what he wanted to do. It was an interview where the guy being interviewed was happy to be interviewed by Hollywood and where Hollywood was happy to talk to the guy. No new information gleaned. No hard questions. This is a piece that any journalist would have never written because they had nothing new to share beyond "I met him! I really met him!"
Most importantly, Rolling Stone should be ashamed.

I asked for your viewpoint and got it. I wonder if our difference in opinions on the the article stem from expectations. I started out expecting an interview with Guzman, but it didn't take me long to realize it was really more of a blog citing Penn's experience trying to get that interview. Which didn't ever happen. I suppose I could definitely agree that Penn does not come out of this looking like a journalist on any level. Just a story teller.
