Ah, the sheer irony of RollingStone lecturing other media outlets about journalism ethics.
- grzm 10y agoYeah, pot shots are easy when mistakes are made, especially so publicly. Their recent kerfluffle was definitely a big one. Should Rolling Stone shut its doors? Or learn from its mistakes as best it can, knowing it has ground to make up, and continue to produce journalism?
- jefurii 10y agoMatt Taibbi at Rolling Stone has been one of the best journalists in a mainstream publication for some time now. He was writing informative and critical pieces on Wall Street after 2008 when nobody else was. Papers like NYT and WaPo are dependent on financial firms and oil companies for revenue, so they're not going to bite the hand that feeds them. Rolling Stone's advertisers are record labels and lifestyle brands (clothing, liquor, games) so they're free to be critical of Wall Street. You wouldn't read them for copyleft and anti-DRM news though.
