Rolling Stone Editor Resigns As Legal Pressure On Botched Rape Story Mounts

This isn’t a botched “rape” story. This was about:

  • lies,
  • false allegations,
  • and the fact that the employees at Rolling Stone Magazine seem to think what basically amounts to a promise not to do this again is all that’s necessary.

It should be a long time before anyone should take any reporting from Rolling Stone seriously again.

Rolling Stone has given us some great journalism, Matt Taibi’s pieces, for example. It is sad that whatever caused this breakdown–hubris? laziness? …??-- will undermine everything and everyone.
