3. Sorry...

Rolling Stone is. According to the story. The owners. They are big GOP donors and bought Rolling Stone to decapitate it.

Don't know if this is all true, though, now?

The Demise of Rolling Stone: How A Legendary Magazine Sold Out to Trump and the Saudis

Rolling Stone magazine was once a shining beacon of rebellion. Devoted to telling the truth about its subjects, the publication has often caused controversy throughout its more than fifty years. But in more recent years, the magazine has seen its share of bad publicity in light of bad decision making, which led to the ultimate bad decision: Rolling Stone was sold to the son of Trump-backing multimillionaire Roger Penske, Jay Penske. Jay is a high-profile GOP donor who fired tenured and experienced journalists, then hired hacks to write tabloid level pieces that leaned so far to the right, he was awarded a Presidential Medal from the former guy himself.

One member of Penske’s stable is Seth Hettena, a freelance journalist who encouraged people to donate to Trump in 2016 and whose tweets have emerged showing he’s against a living wage and also mocked the SEIU for fighting for $15 an hour. Hettena is a journalist who is also known for going after the likes of Erik Prince and Blackwater. One might infer that Hettena now appears corrupted by the very forces he once sought to investigate.


Strange. I've still been seeing good articles from RS lately so I don't quite know what to think yet. This is going to be a 'reread tomorrow morning' thing for me.
