Good news from University of Virginia - from The Hollywood Reporter:
Rolling Stone Sued For $25M By Fraternity Implicated in Rape Story
Rolling Stone was hit Monday with a defamation lawsuit for over $25 million from the University of Virginia fraternity where the magazine reported a young woman was raped in a story later discredited.
In the lawsuit complaint, as obtained by The Washington Post, the Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi alleges reputational damage (and death threats and harassment against members) due to the Nov. 2014 Rolling Stone story "A Rape on Campus" by Sabrina Rubin Erdely, who is named a defendant with Rolling Stone and publishers Wenner Media and Straight Arrow.
The story told of a University of Virginia freshman named "Jackie" who purportedly went to a "date function" at Phi Kappa Psi, where seven men brutally raped her in a bedroom.
Details quickly emerged challenging the accuracy of the story, leading the publication to commission a review from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism that found the publication had failed to conduct "basic, even routine journalistic practice" in reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking” to confirm Jackie’s story. Rolling Stone officially retracted the story in April, and managing editor Will Dana later left the publication.
A classic example of where the story fit their mental narrative so they went with it. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with liberal minds, the narrative had nothing to do with reality.
Can liberalism be a mental disease? It sure seems to be at times. Seriously out of touch...
I am sorry but liberals no longer have the right to define the agenda - they have tried and failed to many times.
