‘Hoo boy': These tweets are coming back to haunt disgraced Rolling Stone journo
Twitchy ^ | December 5, 2014 | Twitchy Staff

Of course @SabrinaRErdely hasn't tweeted in five days.—
Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) December 05, 2014

Yeah, well, to be fair, the connection probably isn’t so great under her rock.

Sabrina Rubin Erdely is the illustrious gal who penned that UVA gang rape story for Rolling Stone. You know, the one that turned out to be an exercise in horrifically shoddy journalism.

Anyway, Erdely hasn’t tweeted since November 30. But this tweet is still pinned — by hers truly — to the top of her Twitter page:

LOL @SabrinaRErdely Pinned pic.twitter.com/RHHBxhAIxQ

— Film Ladd (@FilmLadd) December 5, 2014

Yeesh. If we were her, we’d probably un-pin that one. Still, though, even that embarrassing tweet may not be quite as painfully awkward as these:

Is all bad reporting just laziness?

— Vanessa Grigoriadis (@thevanessag) September 17, 2013

@thevanessag Not always. Sometimes bad reporting is finding the facts that will best support a faulty premise.

Remember when those 100+ Duke professors signed a public condemnation of the completely innocent LaCrosse players in their University newspaper..?

And none of them apologized..?

You know, as long conservatives make this silly show of BEING BIG ABOUT IT, the costs of the Stalinist smears will still be ZERO and this is going to KEEP HAPPENING.

Stamp on Rolling Stoned’s rasping neck one or two hundred times and it will send a message.

SUE THEM INTO OBLIVION.

Yes, two LAST names, as opposed to merely three names total, the second of which is a surname. These types are never Anna Smith Jones or even Anna Smith-Jones; they are invariably Anna SMITH JONES. They NEED all those names, just as they need all those semi-faux graduate degrees.

She can join Dan Rather, Jayson Blair, Jonah Lehrer, Stephen Glass, and Janet Cooke under their rocks.

**”@thevanessag Not always. Sometimes bad reporting is finding the facts that will best support a faulty premise.”**

When Stephen Glass was making up his stories for the New Republic, they were obviously fake, I was a subscriber and would show the articles to my friends over drinks and would laugh at how cliched and perfect the facts and events and personalities were, I think my favorite was the article on the sex orgy staged by of a bunch of pot-smoking young Republicans at a D.C. convention, it was magnificent and so obviously fantasy, but not to the left of course.

Glass repeatedly found EXACTLY everything, every hypocrisy, every deed, and every stereotype that he needed to fulfill fantasy leftist writing.

Every member of the fraternity where the alleged gang rape occurred should sue Rolling Stone, the writers of the false claim, and the person who made the false claim and each of the so-called news outlets that reported it as fact without doing due diligence to ensure the veracity of the claim jointly and severally for a huge amount for defamation. They will very likely win and we see Rolling Stone and the PMSDNC types finally giving up the ghost.

A lot of people out there don’t think facts matter. Heck, facts may not actually “exist”. What really matters is emotion and good intentions, and how you feel about yourself when you get all “righteous”.

Hopefully "Jackie" will be outed.

A lot of people know who she is.

Wash. Post has spoken to her numerous times.

Thank you!!! I’ve been trying for hours to remember Janet Cooke’s last name. Long line of these pathetic “journalists” but the WaPo and CBS, etc. are still, more or less, in business.

Just another example of how Leftist ideology is far more important than truth. We saw it with the accusations of rape at Duke. We have seen it with Ferguson (”Hands up”), Gardner (did not die due to choke hold), Tawana Brawley, Janet Cooke, Jayson Blair, and others as far back as Walter Duranty. What fits the Liberal agenda is what matters, not facts.

I think they should jail these journalists that spread false stories.

All liberal woman have 2 last names. It makes them feel as if they are special. In reality they aren’t comfortable with who they are.

Never, ever trust a woman with 2 last names.

You navel gazing twittering twats waving your fingers across a piece of glass, and the “social media” in general are the scourge of society and are too dumb to know it.
