Managing Editor Will Dana apologized in a letter to readers Friday for the discrepancies in the accusers story.

Get Nancy Grace on the case!
That’s fine.
You can apologize in court while we discuss your libel against us....
This is Hugh and Series!!
“Apologies” are a dime a dozen these days. Everybody is doing it. It’s time these maggots start “apologizing” in court.
Doesn’t matter....
They achieved the goal, which was to create the meme...
Very few of those who heard the story, will ever hear of the retraction.
“Okay, we apologized. We’re good now. Right? Right?”
Sincerely, Immadashell
Yet another unwarranted protest!
Of course none of this matters to Rolling Stone readers. Yhey will remain faithful waiting for the next cover of Miley Cyrus’ tongue or some brilliance form Al ‘Jezeera’ Gore.
Bored Lemmings.
10 days ago, California Mom replied to someone who questioned the facts of the story, "Yours is a ridiculous and uninformed post. RS's lawyers would have picked through the story and made sure there is enough info to defend a lawsuit..."
Bzzzt... try again, California Mom!
Get your checkbook out, dumbazz, and write a big check with lots of zeros after the first number.
SLATE, November 28th:
“UVA has a rape culture problem. Rape culture normalizes rape as part of a larger system of attitudes and understandings of gender and sexuality.”

CNN- UVA’s answer to rape allegations a farce
This issue, which affects so many students, is finally coming into light, led by the excellent reporting of Sabrina Rudin Erdely in Rolling Stone, detailing an alleged, horrific gang rape in a Virginia fraternity.
Only now is the university really doing anything about it, some two years later. Its most recent action is to suspend all fraternities through Jan. 9, some 45 days or so. To an outsider this might seem like an admirable first step. In reality, it is a farce

This “allegation” was used as a Pogrom by the Usual Liberal Suspects to justify yet another “War on Womyn!”.
Another “Fake, but accurate!” production.
UK Guardian’s resident nutjob Feminazi is not happy:

I’m sure these folks will be leading a march to the frat house to publicly apologize.
They’ll just claim they’re a news organization and were just reporting what they were told. Did Dan Rather get sued? Sure, he lost his job but did CBS pay out any money to Bush?
yup....my thoughts exactly...
