Maybe it’s time to separate the wheat from the chaff and stop media from printing or broadcasting the chaff?http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/06/business/in-report-on-rolling-stone-a-case-study-in-failed-journalism.html
They will continue to produce Chaff (and Excrement) as long as the American public favors stories that tear others down and smear their reputation with unsubstantiated rape accusations.
People don’t want to hear the story about a disturbed young woman who wants her 15 minutes of fame so she concocts a story and falsely accuses a fraternity of a heinous crime. As one Progressive said – It’s the severity of the accusation that makes us take pause.
We, the American public should hold these “journalists” accountable. Since they won’t hire the journalist who smeared others – I encourage you not to buy their magazine. I haven’t read it in years but apparently they are still around.
Well Said DagNabbit. That’s what everyone forgets. Lying to the police is not a victimless crime. The men in this fraternity were put under horrible scrutiny because this woman had problems.
I’m not minimizing the damage rape does to a woman but I feel like Progressives and Liberals are minimizing the damage done to young men falsely accused.
I notice we don’t see the police charging Franny False-Report with any charges and we don’t see them delving painfully deep into her past.
Rolling Stone apologized for erroneous information in a story that was mostly true in lots of other examples, but cast poorly on “the system”. Focusing only on the flaw, which no, shouldn’t have happened, plays into the system’s favor of outright lies deliberately broadcast, at Fox and others.
