6:59Now Playing"Rolling Stone's latest cover is attracting plenty of controversy, thanks to its use of a photograph of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The cover, which features a self-taken portrait of Tsarnaev sporting shaggy hair and a goatee, identifies him simply as "The Bomber," while promising to explain "how a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam, and became a monster." The cover story itself was reported over the course of two months by Rolling Stone contributing editor Janet Reitman."*
Rolling Stone defended its use of the bomber's photo, demonstrating the magazine's willingness to court controversy by publishing many controversial covers over the years. Should they be boycotted? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
