In short, this debacle brings back memories of the Duke Lacross team story debacle, the issues with Jayson Blair at the New York Times 11 years ago, and the Rathergate scandal at CBS News 10 years ago.

You'd think Rolling Stone--after knowing about those debacles that ruined several mass media outlets--would carefully vet the story of the rape victim to make sure what she said was accurate before publishing the long-form article. But instead, the blatant political agenda of Rolling Stone overruled common sense, and in their rush to judgement to promote the magazine's hard-Left views, it ended up smearing a fraternity on the University of Virginia campus for all the wrong reasons.

In short, that UVa fraternity may now sue Rolling Stone for libel and slander, and that could end up costing the magazine its very existence.

Serves them and their fat homosexual publisher right.
