... had been replaced by a new crop of editors who were assuredly much cleverer about not being found responsible for making things up in any legally actionable way.

OK, I get that Rolling Stone is a garbage publication. But on the other hand it did inspire a great ol’ rock-and-roll song.

She may have trolled you a bit - setting up the background for the picture, the MAGA hat appears to be part of a KKK hood.

That’s the first time I’ve laughed at the henway joke since the third grade.

Thanks for the article link. It was a good read & gave more context to the OP. And for the poster who thought the one photo was a troll of the author, I totally agree - she was trolling a known troll.

I thought Thomas Sterne had died some two hundred years ago, and that no one had attempted the almost inimitable writing style of his “Tristram Shandy” since I was in college, some one hundred years ago. But here it is!

Business Insider has gone down hill substantially since 2013, too.

Hysterically LMAO.

Love this guy's ability to humorously describe a picture. Reminds me of Erma Bombeck's "If life is a bowl of Cherry, what am I doing in the pits?"
