From the Dan Rather school of pseudo journalism...”Fake but accurate”?
A more interesting topic would be why she does not believe the rape stories of Bill Clinton’s victims. Julie needs to grow up.
It doesn’t matter whether a crime occurred or not, it’s the seriousness of the allegation, right Julia?

What difference does it make at this particular time anyhoo?
My concern is with the narrative itself. If “it was a refrain I had heard . . . a sort of familiar sadness”, why didn’t they run a valid story about a rape that had actually taken place. Obviously rape happens, but I am suspicious that the popular liberal feminist narrative about pervasive rape is overstated to a degree that we cannot determine through the fog of leftist lies.
My default position until their side learns to value honesty is skepticism. That’s sad, but blind belief in their claims would be even sadder. Unfortunately (or is it fortunate because at least things aren’t as bad as claimed?), it seems that most sensational claims reach the level of sensationalism because they are fictional.
“And that’s because... we found something in that article that struck a chord with us.”
Yeah, fraud.
Purely a Narrative Journalism example.
Find the pattern and insert to sort of facts that fit the Narrative you (the Press_ believe in.
Truth has no meaning post Obama because its irrelevant.
Narrative is everything.
cause you WANTED it to be true...
It just occurred to me a couple of threads down the page.
This problem has a solution. Since both the perp and the victim are fictional characters, couldn’t the writer just write a fictional outcome? Fictional cops, a fictional trial? Or maybe a fictional apology as the fictional frat boys suddenly realize the gravity of what they’ve done, and the fictional victim struggles with her fictional emotional problems but bravely goes on with her fictional life?
No discriminating thought process, which is the basis of rule-of-law. Just feelings, which is the basis of anarchy.
Miss Burke's parents must be pleased with all the money they spent on a college education for their little mind-dead daughter.
I always think of Warren Beatty’s line in “McCabe and Mrs. Miller.”
“We? You got a turd in your pocket?”
Excellent question!
“after a semester of significant trauma”
huh
Much like only Chris Matthews can hear particular codewords, only these femi-nazis can interpret true intent of sexual assault from a greeting or handshake.
In all of this, no one seems to be overly concerned that an innocent fraternity, and the Greek system by extension, was smeared by this vicious slander.
And the 20% figure cited by Plugs is a lie, too.
We see a similar phenomenon with Ferguson and Gardner. Their worldview is that all cops are thugs who hate blacks and seek to do them harm, regardless of whatever the black person is doing or has done.
For the Liberal, reality is whatever ideology dictates, not facts.
All I can say is, with the second amendment, if rape is “prevalent” there should be an epidemic of dead men.
If you are a liberal and too stupid to have a gun, you can always acquire a brick. All rapists must sleep sooner or later.
