Not even close. Young Jim Morrison was movie start handsome. A wacked out druggie but handsome. This little bombing freak whit his weak chin and big nose looks like an ugly worm to me.

It's very perplexing as to where anyone draws the line on this matter. The issue, isolated on a single perspective, that putting him on the cover glorifies him,
glorifies what he had done is reprehensible,but you can view any sinister character on the cover of any magazine
1. As a legitimate news story
2. Fundamentally, to sell magazines.

“Our hearts go out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, and our thoughts are always with them and their families,” Rolling Stone said.

But the bottom line and our egos trounce the fake “heart felt sympathy for the victims”. It’s Progressive America and EPS tops any whining and teeth gnashing by the suckers that buy our magazine.

Right. Same actions by a ‘non-photogenic’ muslim freak,

it’s a non-starter.

Back in the day, the Thirties through Fifties, news-makers, no matter how infamous (i.e. Hitler, Stalin, Mao), were often on news magazine covers. Of course, the editors seldom chose flattering shots; the subjects often looked stiff and hardly personable.

You’re obviously far more astute on male appeal than I am, but Junior certainly has his share of female fans:

To paraphrase Darth Vader; Impressive, most impressive.

It brings a certain clarity to a controversial issue.

Thanks for posting.

Glorifying a murderer. But that’s OK. He’s a member of the religion of peace. He’s not guilty. It’s those evil Jews and Crusaders who are to blame.

Besides, a lot of teenage girls whose ***** has taken over where their brain used to function, are head over heels in love with him.

That’ll sell a lot of magazines.

Don’t laugh. There is a Facebook group of young girls who do agree that he’s “dreamy”.

Joker's UMass girlfriend, quoted in Mother Jones:

She says her romantic relationship with Tsarnaev lasted for about two weeks. "I met him standing outside a building and honestly, his face was enough to capture my heart," she explained, noting that lots of women fawned over him. "I walked right up to him and I was like, 'Oh my God, you are adorable. Can we hang out?' I'm very forward."

Her nascent romance with Tsarnaev soon soured, though, after he invited her to come to his dorm room alone. "He wanted to go further than I did, and that made me uncomfortable, and I realized that that's not the kind of person that I wanted to be around," she says. "I don't think that's necessarily being a terrorist. I think that's just called being a hands-y teenaged boy."

She said she remains skeptical that Tsarnaev had a religious motive for carrying out the attack, as has been suggested in the context of his older brother's apparent radicalization. "He never mentioned anything about religion," she said. If he had been devoutly religious, he probably wouldn't have become romantically entangled with her, she added, because she practices a different Eastern religion. "I just can't see him being a radical jihadist just because of the nature of who he was. I don't doubt that he did it, but the 'why?' behind it—I'm having difficulty believing the news."

Well, I know that Newsweek had Candidate->President Obama on its cover ad nauseum and it is no longer in print. Gee, maybe this is a better precedent over Time->Hitler, one can hope!

Did they have a blurb saying he’s hotter than Justin Bieber and One Direction?

Rolling Stone PIMPED a murderer and fawned support for him in the article for a few coins of silver.

The Editors and writers of Rolling Stone simply are supporters of TERRORISTs.
