You know, magazines are not just pictures, there are words as well, which all make sentences, you are an adult, I guess you can read.
So what, you suggest that for some weird reasons there should be a ban on showing pictures of terrorists/criminals ?

It isn't just that they put a terrorist on the cover, it is that they used a very attractive photograph of a terrorist. Maybe we shouldn't react so viscerally to the image, but if the image were more muted or less attractive, I don't think people would be as upset by it. It does seem to convey rock star status.

Wait a minute! Has this guy even had his day in court yet? Do we know for sure he's guilty?

The photo is a "selfie", not posed for Rolling Stone, and was widely published when Tsarnaev was first identified as a suspect.

Sigh...Once again, putting someone on the cover of a magazine that covers news or current events is not moral approval, it's news. How dare the History Channel show those images of @#$%&'s speeches?
Have to agree. This has been done by them before with the Manson cover and other magazines have had controversial figures on their covers, e.g., Time with @#$%& on the cover and so on and so on. There are much more important things to get bent out of shape about...Quote

It's a news story. Time Magazine put @#$%& on the cover because he was newsworthy, not because they endorsed Nazi ideas. People should get a grip.
This. Exactly. Repeat.........get a grip.
