I’m still not a fan of Uncensored magazine

In 2006, I asked Is Uncensored the worst magazine ever? The post was somewhat controversial, it attracted 57 responses.

I checked in with Uncensored recently and didn’t like what I saw. It’s a controversial magazine catering to a fringe. The cover story about the Sandy Hook shooting, for example, is disappointing. I don’t like offering it in my business. But it gets shelf space because I am not the censor of what magazines I sell and because today range, even of fringe titles, can be important commercially.

If I did have complete control I’d not carry the title as I’d focus on a different message with my magazine product mix.

Is it the worst magazine ever? No. In fact, it’s no worse in its writings on fringe topics than, say, the IPA Review, a magazine we also carry.

I need to stop looking at some of the magazines on the shelves.
