Here is the NYT report of the “apology”:
On Sunday, Ms. Erdely, in her first extensive comments since the article was cast into doubt, apologized to Rolling Stone’s readers, her colleagues and “any victims of sexual assault who may feel fearful as a result of my article.”
Hmmm. Anybody missing from that apology? Aren’t people falsely accused of rape entitled to an apology?
If this is an accurate reporting of the extent of the apology, it could be evidence that the article was intentionally defamatory.
Bingo. KMA, RS.
