I wonder how much of her story is “I’ll be famous” and how much of it is “I’ll show you for offending me/ giving me the brushoff/ignoring me”?
That several key facts don’t add up leans towards the latter in part, simple revenge for perceived wrong.
“ Real” or imagined.
(Real in quotes as one never knows what some delicate special snowflake will be offended by these days.)

The advocates, however, do not have any fears about destroying the reputations of an entire fraternity and defaming the university.

Exactly. No concerns there at all.

Like most liberal media the truth is not that important.....the most important thing to them is supporting their predetermined narrative. Rich boys rape minorities.....this is paramount in the lefts thought system. It played it self out in the Duke Lacrosse episode and dozens of others. I personally believe this so called victim never existed outside the mind of this liberal moron. In her own pea brain these things happen on a regular basis so making this story up was merely a way to publish the story with out having to wait around for it to inevitably happen. She was sure all these rich little frat boys had a steady stream of under privileged minorities that they were abusing and by publishing this falsehood would save numerous victims. This is what liberals do everyday.

“Our trust in her was misplaced,” the magazine’s editor, Will Dana, wrote in a signed apology.”

“Trust but verify,” Genius.

In a perfect world all these stories for which she received these awards would be scupiously fact checked. Most likely some or all of them have elements of fraud....this is not the first time this women has lied!!!

I expect that soon fraternities will no longer be exclusively male.

College faculty loath fraternities. The Greek system represents everything they hate; white, privileged males who grow into dependable Republican voters.

Unfortunately for the faculty, they covet alumni support, much of which comes from former fraternity members. If it weren't for this, campuses across the country would've abolished fraternities decades ago.

I guess Hitlerly isn’t left wing enough now for the NYT. Watch next for the NYT canonization of the future St. Elizabeth Warren as she heals the sick, and feeds the poor. /s

The truth is no defense against thought crimes.

As real crimes - rioting/looting, identity theft by illegals, etc., are diminished or ignored, thought crimes - “community perceptions” of police bias, rape epidemic imaginings- rise in importance.

Sharia law meets class struggle.

You can bet they will. She's finished as a journalist.

Sounds more and more like a premeditated hate crime against Phi Kappa Psi.

[catfish1957]

Rolling Stone..... The du of the MSM world.

[dfwgator]

Just like that Bitch, Lena Dunham, who tried to smear Republicans by making up a story about being raped by a College Republican.

[raisetheroof]

Advocates for sexual-assault victims say Rolling Stone's backpedaling from an explosive account of a gang rape at the University of Virginia doesn't change the fact that rape is a problem on college campuses and must be confronted

If that was the case, there wouldn't be a need to fabricate any.

[Darksheare]

Vast food wing conspiracy.

[nascarnation]

It’s obvious from that pic she’s frequenting the same cosmetic surgeon as Chels.

Like daughter, like mother.

[Darksheare]

Yup!
