Good clip. I had not seen it before.

I LIKE winning. Believe me, while I do 'ok' in life, and believe from this point forward I will always do ok, there were times in the past where I was losing so bad that I had no idea what was going to happen next, or how I would ever recover.

I like winning, and I know that I will NEVER get tired of winning after what I and many others had been though in the past.

I think that this is only the start. Trump is not even in office and stuff is getting done.

Could there be more that we don't know about? Any chance it was bad blood between two frats and this was a high level move against one? Something like the alums paying a PR company to wreck another frats credibility.

Or did the writer save her lit erotica file to the wrong folder?

What essentially happened here is that a journalist with a real hard-on against fraternities thought the perfect story justifying her hatred had dropped into her lap. As is the case with most people conned, it's because they want to believe the con.

On top of that: people can appear credible while being utterly batshit insane. Often people believe their own lies. When you combine that with someone who wants the insanity to be true, you have damn close to what the French so breathlessly call folie a deux -- a madness shared by two.

God save us from people who mean well. -storm

No I don't think so. We are talking about Rolling Stone magazine, the champion for social justice bullshit. They just ran with a story about a girl getting raped at a frat and assumed it was true and no one ever followed up on any of it. They buy into the theory that 1 out of 2 girls at college get raped and that most men are rapists and must be stopped. Anyways, hopefully they get sued and lose their business over this.

Not enough if you ask me.

Rolling Stone Settles With University Of Virginia Fraternity Over Rape Hoax Article

Posted By Chuck Ross On 7:58 PM 06/12/2017 In | No Comments

Rolling Stone has settled a lawsuit with the University of Virginia fraternity whose members were falsely accused of raping a female student in a Nov. 2014 article, The Daily Caller has learned.

A source involved at the national level with the fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, tells TheDC that Rolling Stone will pay $1.65 million to settle the defamation suit.

The magazine’s decision follows a settlement in April with Nicole Eramo, a University of Virginia associate dean who was also smeared in the article, which was written by Sabrina Rubin Erdely.

In the piece, “A Rape on Campus,” Erdely relayed the story of Jackie Coakley, a Virginia woman who claimed she was brutally raped by a group of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity members during a party in Sept. 2012.

Erdely portrayed Eramo as dismissive of Coakley’s case. But it was later revealed that Coakley not only fabricated the attack by the fraternity members but that Eramo took her allegations seriously at the time she made them.

A jury in Virginia awarded Eramo $3 million in damages — $2 million from Erdely and $1 million from Rolling Stone.

In an email provided to TheDC, David Moyer, the national secretary for Phi Kappa Psi, informed other members of the national board about the settlement.

Moyer, who also provided legal counsel to the fraternity, wrote that the magazine will pay the $1.65 million settlement by Aug. 31. The Virginia chapter had sued Rolling Stone for $25 million.

Neither Rolling Stone nor Phi Kappa Psi responded to email requests for comment for this article. Moyer also did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

2 mio. $ payable by Sabrina Erdely - that gotta hurt unless she comes from a super-wealthy family anyway and plays journalist for fun.

Either his husband will have to work his ass off for her former job as a propaganda worker or daddy will have to dip into the trust fund of his cupcake. I think that this part hurt her the most and it is actually one of the rare instances where journalists get punished for spouting lies.

Big bummer the payout is so low to the fraternity. You'd think as such a large organization they could've really brought in the legal team, and scored much higher on the payout

Maybe she can ask Jackie Coakley for a loan.

Fraternities' nationals don't support the chapters at all anymore. If I recall, their reaction was to immediately condemn the brothers and suspend the chapter - based on the article alone.

I wouldn't be surprised if nationals hired an attorney for the lying girl instead.

Erdely did another dubious hit job in 2011 in a story about abuse at a Philadelphia Catholic church.

I think the payout was low because Rolling Stone's defense managed to place all blame on Sabrina. Then Sabrina's fund probably wasn't very deep, if at all, making her judgement proof (you can't sue for what people don't have). So Sabrina took majority of liability and could only cover 2 million.

She's reduced to poverty but it does not even come close to undoing all the damage she caused. In a just world she'd get jail time, 1 year minimum.

Looking forward to Sabrina Erdely's first porn video and camgirl profile to pay off the debt.

EDIT: after looking up some pictures of her, I withdraw that statement

Post: #1588

I thought that the fraternity had found some of the people who vandalized their house by looking at social media? Looks like they're not pursuing action against them.

Post: #1589

I'm pretty sure that Rolling Stone said that they would cover any damages assessed against Erdely.

Sigh, all this because the fraternities back in the day weren't attracted to Erdely.

Rolling Stone paid out settlements in the case. Here are the details:

What's most interesting about this media report is how they report the settlement news.

Instead of saying what actually happened (i.e., that a female student fabricated an entire story), the report buries the truth by hiding in passive voice sentences:

The police "could not find evidence" that the "incident" happened, rather than "a girl lied." Or "the story collapsed under investigation" rather than "investigation revealed that the accused invented the entire story."

Even when they report the news, the MSM sticks to the SJW script. But they do it in subtle, devious ways to make people think that "well, there was probably something that happened, but they just couldn't prove it."

The other problem is that the money went to some female school administrator, rather than to the actual victims of the false rape accusations, which were the guys in the fraternity.

< I wonder how much Haven Monahan - the man accused of rape - actually got?

Haven Monahan is already world-famous.

Here another fake rape case in the UK where a 14yo girl was supposedly raped by 2 native Brits in the woods:

Rolling Stone, Once a Counterculture Bible, Will Be Put Up for Sale

Quote:From a loft in San Francisco in 1967, a 21-year-old named Jann S. Wenner started a magazine that would become the counterculture bible for baby boomers. Rolling Stone defined cool, cultivated literary icons and produced star-making covers that were such coveted real estate they inspired a song.

But the headwinds buffeting the publishing industry, and some costly strategic missteps, have steadily taken a financial toll on Rolling Stone, and a botched story three years ago about an unproven gang rape at the University of Virginia badly bruised the magazine’s journalistic reputation.

And so, after a half-century reign that propelled him into the realm of the rock stars and celebrities who graced his covers, Mr. Wenner is putting his company’s controlling stake in Rolling Stone up for sale, relinquishing his hold on a publication he has led since its founding.

Quote:Rolling Stone suffered a devastating blow to its reputation when it retracted a debunked 2014 article about a gang rape at the University of Virginia. A damning report on the story by the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism cited fundamental journalistic failures. The article prompted three libel lawsuits against Rolling Stone, one of which led to a highly publicized trial last year that culminated with a federal jury awarding the plaintiff $3 million in damages.

One of the biggest purveyors of fake news on the planet. And, rather than learning their lesson, you know they're just fuming over the Internet's ability to expose their lies. Every liberal trash heap that pushes their degenerate agenda can join them. Let them all fall.

The magazine that brought Babyboomer propaganda is now going under - big surprise. They can go back to the fold of the globalist conglomerates spouting the same bullshit as the others now. Rolling Stone was supposed to be anti-establishment while in reality they were just spouting a different tune of the times - also for the globalists - regardless whether consciously or by coincidence. Even Sex-Drugs & RocknRoll was a globalist meme to destroy everything that was the old and usher in the Brave New World - all while seemingly being a "rebel".
