“The Washington Post revealed additional inconsistencies Wednesday night in Rolling Stone’s controversial story of an alleged 2012 gang rape at the University of Virginia.

The three students — identified by Rolling Stone and the Post as “Randall,” “Andy,” and “Cindy” –- gave an account to the Post for Wednesday’s story that differed significantly from the one described by contributing editor Sabrina Rubin Erdely in her explosive 9,000-word article about Jackie’s ordeal published online Nov. 19.”

  1. If someone experiences a traumatic incident how reasonable it is to think the person is going to be able to recount event in a calm and completely factually correct manner. If you want to criticize the credibility of other news sources you should get your house in order first. How do you differ from fox news when they have a person of color justify the racism they are spouting when you put women on to justify your own misogyny?
