Rolling Stone rape mea culpa shows media ignorance and absurdity

Sometimes the leftwing media, trying to cover for its reckless and dangerous brethren, are so
Quick-to-claim rape activists took off on false rape story
perpetuated by Rolling Stone magazine.
The anti-rape rallies were fast to accuse, even
though the story was a lie.  
absurd it has to be noted.
A headline in The State newspaper, regarding an AP story reads: "Rolling Stone casts doubt on UVa rape story." Now that's laughable.
The headline, to be accurate, should read: "Rolling Stone promotes lie, forced to retract."
Part of the AP story said: "Rolling Stone cast doubt Friday on its story of a young woman who said she was gang-raped at a fraternity party at the University of Virginia, saying it has since learned of “discrepancies” in her account."
The lengthy article published in November rushed to judgment against the males. It focused on a woman it identified only as “Jackie,” using her case as an example to perpetuate the leftwing idea that there a culture of sexual violence hiding in plain sight at U.Va. The target of Rolling Stone, a notoriously leftwing assault weapon, is white males in college.
Rolling Stone so wanted the story t be true, if failed to contact the men who the self-proclaimed victim accused of participating in the attack.
After being caught in its lie Rolling Stone magazine said: “We were trying to be sensitive to the unfair shame and humiliation many women feel after a sexual assault and now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account,” the magazine’s statement said.
But not only is it egregious that Rolling Stone would stoop to such a level of dishonesty and poor journalism in its effort to hurt the people it hates, the AP's laughingly mis-leading headline is almost as bad.
The whole Democrat Party is imploding. They are getting wacky out there. And their media is just as kooky as the Democrat politicians, as their belief system crashes on its corrupt nature.

Oh, and Rolling Stone did say this: “We are taking this seriously and apologize to anyone who was affected by the story.”
Sure you are.
