Presidential contender Donald Trump is going after Rolling Stone in the latest of a series of attacks against the media, saying the magazines editors added a lot of garish stuff to his controversial interview.
Trump said on Thursday that the author of the interview called to apologize for the way it was edited.
The writer actually called me and said, Im so upset, I wrote this great story and [publisher] Jann Wenner screwed it up he told me that, Trump said on CNNs New Day. They added a lot of stuff, a lot of garish stuff, that I think is disgusting.
Trump conceded the piece had moments of beauty and greatness, noting that the photographer was good.
The GOP primary front-runner has drawn criticism for comments he made about former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina in the Rolling Stone interview.
Look at that face! Trump said of Fiorina in the interview. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!
Trump later clarified the remark, saying he was talking about Fiorinas persona.
Fiorina told Fox Newss Megyn Kelly that shes not going to spend a single cycle wondering what Donald Trump means.
Trump has previously been criticized for comments about women that have been perceived as misogynistic.
Fiorina told Fox Newss Megyn Kelly that shes not going to spend a single cycle wondering what Donald Trump means.
And we all know what she means by that, right? Vulgar.
Can’t believe Trump was so naive! This is the rag which got a general ousted!
When asked about the Rolling Stone report on "Fox and Friends" on Thursday, Trump said, "Probably I did say something like that about Carly."
And, notice how he said that the editors screwed the article up, and "added a lot of stuff," but did not name a single thing that they "added," or a single thing that was incorrect in the article?
Hahahah! I'm Jann Wenner, and I GOT TRUMP..!
Screw you, freepers, ahhahaha..!!
I don’t know why anyone would go into those situations thinking RS would be fair to them. Trump is supposed to be smarter than that. Why give them a stick? You know what your enemy is going to do with it.... SMH...
Zactly!
Rush today said zactly what you just said.
And you’re both right, 100%.
That RS gave Trump a decent profile tells us a lot about Trump.
Compare how they treated Cruz or Palin or Bachman.
“Im glad he was able to quote the writer as being betrayed by the editor (also named).”
Thanks for the post; pic. Message/message distortion/names called out. Use it as future ammo as needed. Kick ass, take names. HOORAY Trump

So Rolling Stone is a bastion of integrity?
There was a time when Rolling Stone had a reputation for integrity. Maybe the writer and publisher Jann Wenner should trade places. See if she can write; if not out the door.
Maybe the writer can return Rolling Stone's integrity. It will take a few years.
Thanks for the pic. I never saw the cover and quit buying the rag about 40 years ago.
Given Rolling Stone’s record, the idiot in this case is not the reporter.
It’s Trump for letting them write a story in the first place. Since he hates the media so much and all.
Not at all. But Trump (a) acknowledged making his comment about Fiorina (which is the bit of the article that has gotten the most attention), and (b) hasn't actually said what the rest of the article got wrong...
He’s lucky they didn’t cobble up a story accusing Donnie of raping FioRINO. They’re such an upstanding professional outfit.
Of course not, but they need to sell copies, too, and invading Muslims and mexicans don’t have the rag in their languages yet and never will. Put Trump BIG on the cover, despised YT might throw it in their checkout lane.
I personally had $$$ on that ‘Syrian’ refugee punk with the FEAR FOR YOUR WIFE T-shirt making the cover this go-round.
“spend a single cycle”
Is that wimmen-speak for a month?
No worries. I just ordered one of his caps.
And he has a "partner" named Matt. Why am I not surprised?
