Oh look - another liberal hoax.
All will be forgiven as the “massage” was good...
When the facts are just too good to check.

I feel raped.
A Note to Our Readers

...In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie’s account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. We were trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault and now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account. We are taking this seriously and apologize to anyone who was affected by the story.
excerpted
Has anyone checked to see if the reporter was stoned, or tripping, when she wrote the article?
Is is Rolling Stone Magazine, after all.
Another make-believe progressive fantasy crashes and burns like the Hindenburg.
Oh the humanity.
And this on top of the mass resignations at New Republic magazine over its change of focus of that magazine....
I expect nothing less from RS - a leftist subculture rag.
It doesn’t matter that there is No Evidence of Wrongdoing, it is only the seriousness of the Charge that warrants investigation.

“Key elements” in doubt ? Like the truth?
Hang on folks. The article gives our side a chance to critique the casual booze, casual dope, casual porn, casual sex, hook-up culture that pervades the academy and has pervaded the academy since the days of takeovers at Columbia, etc.
We have a chance to make the point that once the immoral mass of everything up to the point of non-consensual sex is normalized and legitimized, that non-consensual sex and rape are only the thinnest of lines away.
The article makes two basic claims: 1) a specific gang rape occurred, 2) sexual assault (including rufie sex) is rampant.
We can smell the flaws in #1 while generally agreeing with #2, AND PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT LIES, on secular progressive ideology.
““While the details of this one case may have been misreported, this does not erase the somber truth this article brought to light: Rape is far more prevalent than we realize,”
With all that rape going on, you’d think the media could have come up with at least ONE case that wasn’t a fake.
BTW, I hope the fraternity has grounds to sue the crap out of Rolling Stone and win. Also, this whole fiasco continues to underscore the complete lack of credibility that RS has about anything anymore. When I read the original RS article when it was posted here, I wondered if the story was actually true or not.
massive Libel suit and damages lawsuit by the Frat that was blamed
I love this part from the WaPo’s interview with Jackie:
“He never said he was in Phi Psi,” she said, while noting that she was positive that the date function and attack occurred at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house on Sept. 28, 2012. “I know it was Phi Psi because a year afterward my friend pointed out the building to me and said that’s where it happened.”
Her friend pointed out the Phi Psi building to her a year later, and told HER that’s where it happened? How did her friend know?
“”The fraternity members say that several important elements of the allegations were false.””
No one finds that a ludicrous statement? What would important elements be in a story that is false to begin with?
If there are not major libel suits from this then there is no such thing as libel. The frat should get all the millions they can from Rolling Stone ... then throw a REAL beer party!
How about a zero tolerance for false accusations of rape?
