This is what RS should stick to - opinion pieces.

They have trouble when they try to get into journalism - reporting on real things, etc

Journalism can't involve opinions?

The likes of Taibbi, Michael Hastings, William Greider, H.S Thompson, and Joe Klein have written journalistic pieces for RS for decades.

What he means is "different opinions"
Just the facts as seen through a Republican lens is real journalism
everything else is hippie drivel

No, journalism can't involve opinions. It should involve FACTS. Opinions are meant for editorials.

Well well well

look who I trolled up with a little sarcasm

not only Cleets, but Mr Contextual Nuance himself!

I liked the article - I was being sarcastic about RS's journalistic cred re: UVa, etc

of course journalism incorporates opinion

Here's some more red meat for Klam, et al from that bastion of journalistic relevance:

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/ne ... s-20150713" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

FLASH! AFL/CIO destroys Scott Walker with one tweet!

It wasn't quite a "he's a big doo doo head" tweet, but damn close.

But to the nobel laureates at Rolling Stone, it was a putdown of Shakespearean proportions!

:rofl:
