Rolling Stone Whitewashes 'Glee'

As an editor, I completely get why Rolling Stone chose the actors it did for its cover story on "Glee" (for better or worse, these are the principals). But I can also see why some would cry foul. For a series that boasts a disabled boy, a gay boy, a black girl and an Asian girl -- not to mention the mohawked Jew -- you gotta wonder if the creative forces behind this award-nominated show really deserve as much praise for its "diversity" as they're getting when nearly every interesting storyline revolves around these cover models. In the show's defense, at least the black-and-white dog was allowed to stay.
