I know nothing about Rolling Stone and its management, but Alan Sepinwall is the smartest, hardest working TV critic working today. His work has elevated the medium. I don't watch a show without checking to see what he thought of it, before or after.
Rolling Stone fired Alan Sepinwall, Status’ Oliver Darcy reports. That’s probably the end of my subscription.
