And then there's the sensitivity of people's emotions surrounding an event that happened so recently. Now the people of Boston have the perpetrator's face staring back at them, taunting them from every newsstand...reminding them of the horror - keeping fresh emotional wounds open.

The media exploits, sensationalizes and capitalizes on the evil being done on a daily basis. It doesn't matter what the story within the pages of Rolling Stone says - the majority of people will only see the cover on the newsrack without buying the issue. They will form their opinions based on the cover's exploitation.
