People keep saying they don’t understand why Rolling Stone didn’t fire the journalist who wrote the frat house gang rape story.
It’s like they live on a different planet.
This journalist is the best thing that ever happened to the magazine. People world over now know that it exists and is in the business of publishing gang rape porn. The magazine is experiencing its stellar moment. I’m reading articles about this article in several different languages published in several different countries.
And so what if the journalist in question is an unprofessional, stupid fool? Isn’t that the modern definition of a journalist?

Well, that, and the fact that firing the journalist could be interpreted as an admission of guilt, opening them up for lawsuits. Their strategy seems to be to fault the girl in the story. ‘What can we do? She lied to us’.

Totally agree – I’ve thought all along that Erdely was the best thing to happen to RS in twenty years. Rescued them from total irrelevancy – at least for a while. Now people will be reading RS to see what they are lying about in each issue. Maybe RS could make it a regular feature: “Spot Erdely’s Whopper”.
