Rolling Stone is punching back after a blog post claimed that the magazine “sold out” to President Trump and the Saudis under its owner Jay Penske led to calls for a boycott.

The story, by “The Hill Reporter” dubbed “The Demise of Rolling Stone: How A Legendary Magazine Sold Out to Trump and the Saudis,” ignited calls across the Twitterverse to #BoycottRollingStone on Friday in part by resurfacing old information about magazine’s parent company’s ties to the Saudis.

The story also blasted the Penske Media CEO for his ties to Trump, although it appeared to conflate the media mogul with his auto-racing magnate dad, Roger Penske.

[the Penske Media CEO for his ties to Trump]

Rolling Stone isn’t Penske material.

But then, neither was George.

That's okay, I'm sure the nice folks at Twitter will plaster a "fact checked" disclaimer over it. /rimshot

It is one of the measures of dispersion, which is a measure of how much the values in the data set are likely to differ from the mean standard deviation calculator

I would suggest that Rolling Stone ‘readers’ have been snubbing/brushing off the magazine for forty-odd years. I don’t think I’ve touched the magazine since 1985.

I bought the first issue, then threw it in the trash where it belonged and never looked at the mag again.

Boycott “Rolling Stone” over ties to Trump, but not over their own lousy reporting?
