Today it came to the attention of Rolling Stone's readership that Rolling Stone has become another cog in the wheel of a political establishment which seeks to undermine democracy by skewing the media narrative in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Rolling Stone has chosen to take this position despite overwhelming support for Bernie Sanders on behalf of Rolling Stone's readership, and against the wishes of those of us who believe in a fair and democratic election process or basic journalistic integrity.
Tell Rolling Stone that you will cancel your subscription, that you will not purchase Rolling Stone magazine, and that you will boycott Rolling Stone's site if they do not retract this endorsement. Just like Bernie Sanders, the readers of Rolling Stone are not for sale.
Signed,
Your Humble Readers (what's left of them anyway)

I am currently consolidating the recent feedback from our subscribers to draft a formal letter to the editorial board regarding their coverage choices. We are preparing to send this communication to the publication office to demand a meeting on their editorial standards.

The scale of this response is compelling and I am now preparing a formal letter to deliver these demands directly to the editorial board. We have established enough momentum to force a response regarding their editorial standards. Expect an update once initial contact with their management is confirmed.

Matt Taibbi is one of the best writers in America. I can follow him without buying RS. If RS's support for Clinton is not withdrawn, I'll never buy another copy of RS and will speak against the publication to whoever will listen.
Rolling Stone, an establishment paper? really? Let's have fair reporting and represent the people's choice as it unfolds. I will not purchase Rolling Stone magazine if you do not retreat the endorsement for Hillary Clinton.
After hard hitting articles about Wall Street criminality by Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone turns around with an endorsement of Wall Street's favorite candidate. Rolling Stone's credibility is down the toilet with this one.
This is a real betrayal. I have been a subscriber for over twenty years and I am shocked at how a left leaning magazine is endorsing a hawk who has proven to be another shill for Wall Street. I am canceling my subscription.
R.S. You are a disgrace. Supporting HRC is supporting the status quo. Do you not want this country to change for the better? Or keep its current course of disenfranchised voters, corrupt campaign finance and disappearing middle class? For shame. I expected better. You have lost a lifetime reader.
Shame on you OligarchStone
Wake up Rolling Stone! Why? Anyone really paying attention nows that Hilary stands for band aids to fix the nations heart attack. More corporate greed, corporate crime and self enrichment through ass kissing the "donor class". More drone warfare, killing, Saudi, Israel support. What the F##k up. Thank u Matt Taibbi. Probably will end up working somewhere else soon unfortunately.

I’m a moderate Republican who’s registered as a Democrat to vote for Mr. Sanders. While I am divided on s called conservative and liberal “ideals”, I’m committed to backing someone who’s finally putting America and all Americans ahead of politics and big money interest. Please reconsider your position in this pivotal election.
