Hmm, I suspect that’s not entirely true.

I can see I am arguing with a moron, and I haven’t been expecting this to go anywhere for a while. At this point I just like responding to you because any time you spend replying back is time you’re not inflicting yourself on some other unsuspecting innocent person. I’m basically a hero.

You have no idea how silly I usually am. I don’t appreciate your presumptuousness.

N0, I’m pretty sure it was you. Like, you personally.

So is your criticism of a liberal media outlet despite your having completely misinterpreted the content of the article some sort of “self-parody” of modern conservatism? That’s pretty meta.

Jezebel is absolutely a publication, and the writers here have consistently expressed a desire to be viewed as journalists, going so far as to refer to themselves as such. Therefore, I’m holding them to that standard. If you don’t like it, too fucking bad. I’m really not interested in your opinion.

I expect a publication with a clearly stated political agenda to maintain a unified editorial voice, or at least provide some explanation for why their stance on an issue has changed when it does. Yes, really. I honestly don’t think moral and ethical consistency is too much to ask.

New York is the most overrated city in the world. It’s the Bono of cities.

I honestly don’t care if you’re white, black, yellow, green, red or purple

Why should they have to? There’s nothing dishonest or glorifying about the picture they chose. It’s a truthful depiction of the subject. If you think he looks dreamy, that’s on you.;

What people are used to is their problem. Putting the subject of your main article on the cover of a magazine is pretty standard stuff.

I guess white plastic Lego hair runs in the family.

Your memory servers you poorly. They acknowledged the controversy, but Dodai Stewart specifically defended the magazine’s decision. Unless a journalists opinions are specifically called out as their own it’s not unreasonable to take them as the publication’s editorial stance on an issue. When that stance is…

Freedom of the press is important...

They didn’t “make him” look like anything. They used an unaltered social media photo, the same one that circulated around via a bunch of different news outlets.

So did a bunch of different news outlets.

They didn’t “make him” look like anything. They pointedly did not alter the image in any way. They simply used the same image most other publications were using at the time, because it was the one available.

Then why not put some of the victims on the cover if they want to be a “serious” news magazine?
