    I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

      During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy

        Until they shut it down, Buzzfeed News had become one of the better news organizations.

        Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.

        You’d think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go “what? How?..”

        Like I said elsewhere, I’ve actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren’t being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.

      Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

      Oh the memories.

      Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

      I’m sure Teen Cosmo has some great coverage as well.
