Well, here’s something you don’t see every day; in an op-ed for the Columbia University student paper, the paper’s former editor openly admits their coverage of a prominent campus rape accusation was skewed, because he feared being accused of opposing rape victims if he questioned the victim’s story.

Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz garnered national attention for carrying her mattress around campus in protest of the university’s refusal to punish and expel her rapist. Sulkowicz made the rounds on national media, attended the State of the Union with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and inspired nationwide protests.
But the conversation shifted suddenly yesterday after The Daily Beast published an interview with the student she accused, rebutting many of her claims. In particular, he produced Facebook message records showing that Sukowicz was openly flirtatious and friendly with him months after he supposedly brutally raped her. “I love you Paul,” reads one such message, “Where are you?!?!?!?!”
In response to the piece, a former editor of The Columbia Prospect, Daniel Garisto, wrote an op-ed for the paper “Better media coverage of sexual assault for survivors,” accepting blame for not telling the full story. “I think we—not just the opinion page, not just Spec—but we, the members of the campus media, failed specifically with Sulkowicz’s story by not being thorough and impartial.”

They’re still hypocrites:
Our Coverage of Rape... [It wasn’t rape; it was a false rape accusation.]
“Better media coverage of sexual assault for survivors,” [Survivors of false rape accusations? I think not.]
Liberals keep choosing the most outrageous stories as their causes to pursue, and they keep running into the same problem: outrageous stories that are far worse than the norm turn out in most cases to be fictional. There are real rapes (often by athletes and liberals), but they don’t want to use those to teach useful lessons. They want the outliers to use for a political agenda. Liberals never learn, which is one of many reasons they disgust me.
LOL - The 'oh so thin-skinned' ones give Clinton a pass... he's one of 'em.

“It seems that she wanted the guy to commit to a serious relationship but he didn’t want to, she sought revenge.”
Yes.
Hopefully he learned a lesson to not use women.
Once again, its the frauds that hurts the real victims the most.
