Robyn Urback: Rolling Stone writer apologizes to everyone except the victims

It would be great to track down the current members of that frat, and do a professional interview going over all the shit they put up with. People need to know who the real victims were, and that it was feminists who were the real perpetrators here.

They can't apologize to them. That would be an admission of guilt, making the lawsuits that are incoming pretty open and shut.

No apology the the PKP house because from the feminist rape culture mindset it doesn't matter if the gang rape occurred, their agenda is to keep a national dialogue going regarding rape culture with a finger constantly pointing at fraternities being the problem, and yet again they were successful. Hope the PKP house gets millions from RS when this is over.

What a terrible way to go about the situation. These Phi Psis were constantly given shit by almost everyone, yet, Rolling Stone didn't apologize to them. I hope the sure Rolling Stone and get themselves a nice new house

There is pending legal action by the frat. There will never be an apology by a defendant in a pending lawsuit. That's pretty normal.

How do people think that this story makes it harder for actual rape victims? It does the opposite, proves that even if the investigators think you outright lied, you're still untouchable and considered the true victim. This case drives me nuts - it seems so simple, yet is made so difficult by the sick moral standards we observe today.

It bothered me last night that the news (specifically Fox but that's irrelevant) is still referring to this as the UVA rape case. Shouldn't they be calling it something like the Rolling Stone false accusation case?

NPR interviewed a friend, one of the ones that supposedly told Jackie Coakley not to go to the cops, and he said that if RS had interviewed him, he would have told them not to trust her, she's known to be a liar.

I hope they end up owning all shares of Rolling Stone when this is done. I can understand a mistake or even a major screw up, but this rises to the level on intentionally trying to ruin their lives while knowing that the claims were all a lie.

Fuck the apology, apologies are cheap and not legally binding. It would only be forced and insincere. The victims need to sue and win enough that Rolling Stone avoids letting this happen again. The important message is that it's not up to Rolling Stone or Sabrina Erderly to decide who is guilty and who is innocent. You don't get to dictate people's guilt because you run a website or have a degree in gender studies.

The worst part is the thought that because an idiot reporter made the blind leap that rape culture exists, somehow actual rape victims are going to be scared away from actually reporting the crimes.

Keep in mind, whatever flack "Jackie" is taking because of this story, it's not getting the sort of ink that the reporter is getting for printing the whole mess.

I feel like people really are missing the forest for the trees here. Why should the non reaction of a fake rape story, that was incorrectly publicized cause an actual victim of rape to not report it?

No reason to think this person would apologize. They already exhibited they are a scumbag by doing the article in the first place.

We aren't SJWs. We don't care about the pomp and circumstance. Forcing someone into an insincere apology (or, as SJWs love to do, starting a WAAAGH! to hurt them into making a sincere, tearful apology) doesn't matter.

Not doing this **** in the future matters. So does making this right for the victims.

BitchyMaleWhite · 2015-04-08T23:12:05+00:00

Its really too bad that this will be settled out of court most likely. The lawsuit seems pretty open and shut. Rolling Stone would be out of their fucking minds to take this to trial. Most likely they will settle for a undisclosed amount and we won't know how much the victims received because of the actions of these radical feminists. I would love to see it go to trial and RS lose a Godly amount of money.

Frittern · 2015-04-08T14:42:27+00:00

What????? Those Frat boys should be thanking Rolling Stone providing them with such a valuable learning experience.

Shrekusaf · 2015-04-08T22:16:05+00:00

not to sound as though i'm making excuses for her, because fuck that bitch, but the fraternity was probably omitted from the apology for the simple reason that the rolling stone is being sued by the frat, and a public apology from the author working for them would introduce added culpability to them in the eyes of the law. it's like when you get into a car crash. make sure the other party is ok, sure, but never admit fault, and never apologize. let the lawyers hash that part out.
