re: #430 Decatur Deb

In the language of RS, “monster” isn’t condemnation. “We’re #1 with a bullet, got a monster hit.” That’s why I hate RS.

I have a lot of respect for you, DD. I agree with you most of the time. But I cannot believe that you honestly think that “a monster hit” (presumably in reference to a song) and “how this man became a monster” are using the same definition of the word.

I think it’s slightly disingenuous to claim he’s called a “monster” on the front cover. It’s the 18th word (last in the sentence) of the subheadline. It’ clear as day they are calling him the Bomber, however.

Just… what? “How this man became a monster.” That’s pretty damn clear. How much clearer would you like it to be? How could they have removed any more ambiguity from it? Surely you’re not basing your claim of that being ‘disingenuous’ purely based on word count?
