So when did music magazine rolling stone become one of the more reliable sources of non music news in this country? I'm seriously asking cause it's really strange to me. Good, but strange

It's been decades now. Their in-depth reporting during the Bush II administration was leagues better than most mainstream news outlets.

Always. They started out as rock n roll, which was counter-culture in its time. Rock often still is. They've always covered more than just music.

They’ve had political contributors for a long time. Iirc even Hunter S Thompson contributed some political writings, sprinkled between his more sports-centric articles, to Rolling Stone.

Since at least Hunter S. Thompson

A little bit before Teen Vogue became a hard hitting investigative and political media outlet.

... I genuinely can't tell if you're fucking with me

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No! Teen Vogue is actually awesome reporting!

Agree. I learned how good rolling stone is from lemmy. Wish I found out earlier.
