Rolling Stone hit piece on us yet another example of its shoddy journalism

In case you missed it, and judging from the glaring lack of engagement on their publication’s Twitter post, you probably did, Rolling Stone came out with a hit piece on Evie Magazine at the end of May. Senior Writer EJ Dickson is unbothered working for a publication that published a proven false rape story which resulted in Rolling Stone retracting the article, apologizing, and settling several lawsuits for defamation to the tune of millions of dollars, but has a problem with Evie’s supposed “far-right” slant.

Right off the bat, Dickson tries to make the case that there’s something sinister about Evie because the magazine presents itself much like a conventional women’s magazine, packed with beauty tips, lifestyle advice, Met Gala outfit rankings, and Taylor Swift album reviews (you know, girl stuff) – then BAM, you’re hit with far-right propaganda. What is this far-right propaganda, you ask?

[How is that different from an entertainment magazine attempting exposé journalism — and failing miserably at it? If Evie Magazine should stick to beauty tips, then the crashing catastrophe of RS’s University of Virginia rape reporting should have forced it to stick to bad music reviews.
