Is it the Christian Right upset with the heathen devil music the mag embodies? Nah.
It's the woke twitter mob--which one might very well argue is the zeitgeist of our time--that recently discovered Rolling Stone is now owned by Jay Penske's company, Penske Media (and yes, he's the son of the racing team owner, Roger Penske). Penske Media has been the majority shareholder for Rolling Stone since 2017, fyi. It bought out the minority stake in 2019.
And why is Jay Penske a persona non grata? Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not sure the outrage mob knows why, either. Apparently, this article may have been the genesis: hillreporter.com/the-demise-of-rolling-stone-96880
One might also infer that whomever wrote this article isn't fit to write for the Midvale Middle School Gazette.

Oh, well if he lives the millionaire playboy lifestyle...

One member of Penske’s stable is Seth Hettena, a freelance journalist who encouraged people to donate to Trump in 2016 and whose tweets have emerged showing he’s against a living wage and also mocked the SEIU for fighting for $15 an hour. Hettena is a journalist who is also known for going after the likes of Erik Prince and Blackwater. One might infer that Hettena now appears corrupted by the very forces he once sought to investigate.

Jay Penske lives the millionaire playboy lifestyle, with a supermodel wife and a lot of wealthy friends. He was once arrested with his brother in Nantucket for assaulting a woman and urinating on her. But the most compelling thing about Jay Penske is that both he and his father have close ties to the Saudis. Jay Penske took $200 million from a Saudi Arabian government-backed company, SRMG, but has neither explained the loan nor the relationship. And Penske Media Corporation, which employs hundreds of journalists at Variety, Deadline, The Robb Report, WWD and others as well as Rolling Stone, has never publicly addressed the investment tie to the regime, either to defend or explain it.
