Get the magazine for sure. But I want a judgement so huge against Sabrina Rubin Erdely who wrote this article know it was a lie and he did it with premeditation and malice.

It has to be treble punitive damages so large she can never get out from under the evil that she perpetrated. It has to be so large that she can’t even get a job at a Starbucks.

Good news

The “actual malice” standard should be watered down to “gross negligence” for “public figures” and negligence for everyone else

The “media” should be held accountable as the rest of us.

“Jackie” needs to be locked-up as well.

Maybe even lobotomized.

For her own safety, of course.

She and Sabrina Rubin Erdely cooked up this story together.

"...Rolling Stone’s attorneys argued throughout the three-week trial that while it may have been a mistake to trust Jackie, their portrayal of the university and Eramo was fair and accurate. On Monday, attorney David Paxton told jurors that the magazine was “heartbroken” by Friday’s decision and urged them not to be tempted to award a large sum of damages in order to send a message to the magazine and the media. They’ve already done that with their verdict, Paxton said..."

Wow. Just wow. They double down, republishing it, saying it was "fair and accurate", then grovel asking not to be punished.

Bankrupt them. Put them out of business, throw every single POS employee, reporter, executive, and ombudsman out on the street.

Do it with prejudice and malice.

The frat lawsuit amount is MUCH larger. I have read that rag recently and it will be missed only by aging and increasingly addled potheads.

I despise that “magazine” and all that it stands for. It is a concentrated example of all that has gone wrong with this country since the 1960’s.

I was there in ‘79. This is a good start. I hope Phi Kappa Psi pushes them and Jann Wenner (homo Nazi that he is) into bankruptcy just as the Hulk did with Gawker - and then go after the corrupt President of UVA, Theresa Sullivan who shut down fraternity row to punish alpha males. And then have the biggest kegger in history to celebrate - Wa Hoo Wa!

Maybe even lobotomized.

Given the number of times she said "I don't remember" under oath, that already may have happened.

I know for a fact that a very wealthy Phi Psi alum has vowed to do all he can to shut the Rolling Stone down. They do have a plan.
