re: #348 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

But it’s a story about how he got into being an Islamic radical murderer. How is that ‘popularizing’ him?

I mean, I’m sympathetic to the idea that we should just not report on mass murderers, that if we did that their numbers would go down, but I don’t think it actually applies in this case, I don’t think he was motivated by fame. I might be wrong, and I think the only way to figure that out is by actually looking at the guy, his past, and his motivations.

I’m not sure anyone has an issue with the article itself. If you took the text/titles off the cover and showed it to a random 16yo girls she’d wonder when his concert tickets go on sale.
