The author of this hit piece and the mag apologized to their readers and to rape victims everywhere.
They did not apologize to the people and groups they’d actually defamed.
Sounds like they knew it was actionable.
Even the kookburgers that left comments on the NYTimes site mentioned this.
Apologies all around, but no firings, and certainly no apologies to the actual victims. The falsely accused frat members.
I think that if they apologized, it would be an admission of guilt, so their lawyers told them to specifically NOT apologize.
I can't figure the non-firing of Erdley, though.
Hell, even "fake but accurate" Rather got canned.
That is very noticeable...they did not apologize to the people they wrongfully smeared. But that is the mind of a social warrior leftist, where facts do not matter.
