14 DAY TRIAL // A Rolling Stone magazine issue featuring Dzohkhar Tsarnaev on the cover is stirring up a lot of controversy.
So far, the CVS chain has refused to sell the issue, the Guardian writes. If this was a publicity move on part of Rolling Stone, it has worked so far, if no other retailer refuses to sell the issue.
As I told you, editors at Rolling Stone are accused of glorifying violence and praising Tsarnaev as a “rock star.”
They later explained that they have put the Boston Marathon bomber on the cover because he is of the same age as the readers of the mag, and they are trying to dissect how he came to become a killer.
Since a photo of the cover was uploaded on Facebook, it was shared almost 6,000 times and thousands of users commented on it
