While at this point nothing could redeem Rolling Stone's tall tale about a gang rape at the University of Virginia, it's remarkable that new details further undermining Sabrina Rubin Erdely's shoddy reporting are still emerging on a daily basis—and each is more revealing than the last.

Then they’ve changed dramatically since I was that age. Sure, they had their pouts and cries but nothing that would put someone in danger of jail....or embarrass themselves on a national scale.

I was skeptical of Jackie's "story" when I first read it, but when the cracks started appearing in it, I refused to knee-jerk blame Jackie. I've read so many articles where the journalist with an agenda took a basically factual story and overhyped it, prodding the interviewee to include more and more salacious details in order to sell more copy.

But now it looks like this girl made up a fake upperclassman boyfriend to try to stir up some jealousy in this guy friend of hers who she was interested in, but who had shut her down.

Somehow, that all snowballed, and she ended up a gang-rape victim being discussed (and trashed) around the world.

Apparently it’s a service people can use that makes it look like they are getting a text from someone else.

Like "Haven Monahan" UVA student from Dawson'a Creek
