According to NBC News, a judge has rejected Rolling Stone‘s request to throw out a defamation case brought by the accused students in the now-debunked University of Virginia rape case.

In a statement made on Thursday, a circuit court judge in Charlottesville, Virginia, held that Rolling Stone magazine’s article on an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia could reasonably be considered defamatory. This followed a request by the magazine’s attorney for the court to dismiss the case.

Hopefully, Rolling Stone and the reporter will be sued into bankruptcy.

That would be nice.

Rolling Stone the next Gawker?

No one has the right to slander and to publically accuse and humiliate an innocent person; without consequences.

“Hopefully, Rolling Stone and the reporter will be sued into bankruptcy. “

Just wonder if the aggrieved students will live long enough to spend any of the money they are due. Rolling Stone will litigate this ad infinitum.

Hopefully, Rolling Stone and the reporter will be sued into bankruptcy.

At the least.

Jan Wenner is one of the biggest jerks I’ve ever seen in the public arena.

This rag should have stayed with it’s winning formula. They should have just reviewed new albums, musicians, concerts, etc. Shouldn’t have gone political and become social justice warriors. I haven’t read it for decades now.

They ain’t to big to fail.

Melania Trump sued the British rag that alleged she was a call girl. They immediately retracted the accusation.

Rolling Stoned is a relic of the Woodstock days that has long outlived its usefulness. I'd love to see it go out in a blaze of infamy.

Damage done - done, too little, too late. Now they burn in the fires they stoked.

Hoping RS experiences the same burn.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Hope they get a lesson, good and hard.

I’m sure Rolling Stone (and NBC News for that matter) think there should be an exemption for those who commit libel in order to “raise awareness” and “shake Americans out of their complacency.”
