Great news. I hope they win big. Two of Jackie's friends were on Megyn Kelly last night. I am sure you can find the video on line. This story is disturbing on many levels.

Rolling Stone was a fun, edgy, 'counter-culture' publication back in the day, with a focus on music. When they tried to pose themselves as a serious journalistic endeavor perhaps someone should have explained to them what that means...

Hard to believe that even after the RS retraction, the Washington Post article(s) and now the Columbia University School of Journalism analysis that there are those who continue to believe that fraternities and sororities are at fault.

How difficult is it to believe that people have opinions that go against what others think ?

That's the nature of this place and the world.

This isn't about opinion. It's ignoring facts.

People around here ignore facts all the time.

Agree to disagree and all that.

Enabling bona fide liars is never a good idea imo. Frats and sororities have issues that need to addressed but not by propping up fairy tales, it just isn't right. BTW, Law & Order SVU last week tackled a very similar story.

Particularly since this same "reporter" did something similar a couple of years ago.
