In response to the total implosion of Rolling Stone's preposterous story about a fraternity gang-rape at the University of Virginia, the media have reverted to their Soviet-style reporting. They're not even saying: We're choosing not to talk about UVA because it's a side show. It's more like: UVA? That's a school?
Not only did the UVA gang rape turn out to be a hoax, but then President Obama's own Department of Justice completed a six-year study on college rape, and it turns out that instead of 1-in-5 college coeds being raped, the figure is 0.03-in-5.
Less than 1 percent of college students are the victim of a sexual assault -- 0.6 percent to be exact -- not to be confused with the 20 percent, or "one in five," claimed by feminists and President Obama.
But neither the DOJ report, nor the UVA rape hoax have dissuaded Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Claire McCaskill from pushing their idea that the nation is in the grip of a college rape epidemic.
This week, Gillibrand dismissed the UVA outrage, saying, "Clearly, we don't know the facts of what did or did not happen in this case."
Actually, we know quite well what happened in this case. A disturbed young woman invented a fake boyfriend and a fake gang-rape to get attention, and an incompetent journalist acted as her transcriber. It was a total hoax -- just like the Duke lacrosse case, the Jamie Leigh Jones case, the Tawana Brawley case, and every other claim of white men committing gang-rape.
Gillibrand and McCaskill: Perhaps the accusations against Dreyfus were overblown, but that doesn't mean there's not an epidemic of Jews selling secrets to the Germans!
We are truly in the middle of a rape epidemic: an epidemic of women falsely claiming to have been raped.

80 percent of Rolling Stone writers aren’t morons?
“80 percent of Rolling Stone writers aren’t morons?”
That was my thought as well. Only one in five aren’t?
and she should be careful in her wording.
“It was a total hoax — just like the Duke lacrosse case, the Jamie Leigh Jones case, the Tawana Brawley case, and every other claim of white men committing gang-rape.”
She means every MSM trumpeted agenda driven case.
Unfortunately white men have committed gang rape that aren’t hoaxes.
I think she is off by about 80%
Hear, hear!
Hey, the gang rape charge is just as true as “hands up-Don’t shoot”
Remember their Marxist article a few months back?
It was so bad, at first I thought it was satire.

Moron was a psychological term for people with IQs in the range of 51-70. Since 1 in 5 is a moron, I think that implies the rest are imbeciles (IQ 26-50) or idiots (IQ 0-25).
80%. non-morons is much higher than the New York Times.
>> Unfortunately white men have committed gang rape that aren’t hoaxes.
Since that’s so obvious, please give an example.
Ann says one in five are morons. Guess she is giving some professional courtesy. I’d put the count at closer to “all.”
No, PJ O’Rourke is not a moron.
Indeed. It is her weakness to weaken her punch by being sloppy.
And nearly 100% of their readers are, too.
“No, PJ O’Rourke is not a moron.”
Is he still there?
He’s freelance but contributes on occasion.
People at UVA show they too are stupid enough to be ‘organized’ by a new breed of federal workers, community organizers.
