I kind of miss AmigActive. Yes, there was still an Amiga based magazine in the early 2000s. I paid for it to be imported just for the fact that it existed. It was kind of pathetic- the best downlods off of SimTel for that month (usually bugfixes to 20 year old software or some poo poo), and the biggest news ever was that AWeb (or was it that other browser) went Open Source.

Still it was a lot better and useful in real life than Tezzor.

Maybe they'll end up with one of those "creative" judges who will sentence Rolling Stones staff, and the accuser to rape by the frat. Then everyone wins. The frat gets to rape, the accuser gets attention, rolling Stone gets an article, and D&D gets to crow about being right all along.

An NYU journalism professor wrote his thoughts on the Columbia report

http://pressthink.org/2015/04/rolling-stones-a-rape-on-campus-notes-and-comment-on-columbia-j-schools-investigation/

He's really mad at RS

quote:

"Erdely’s reporting led her to other, adjudicated cases of rape at the university that could have illustrated her narrative, although none was as shocking and dramatic as Jackie’s."

Indeed. None was.

wasnt there also some recent rape accusations that were proven false or some black guy who was actually really guilty and D&Ds were all white knighting the poo poo out of it trying to one up each other as whose more communist, how awful it is, and running out anyone who didnt believe it 100%; then when it was proven the opposite the narrative changed and they stammered around "well-well IT DOESNT MATTER THAT ITS NOT REAL! IT HAPPENS ANYWAYS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER"

Neil Strauss is a writer for Rolling Stone and he's said in interviews that the pay is terrible.

Maybe this has something to do with the poo poo reporting/their unwillingness to fire anyone.

This is pretty much what conservatives have been accusing liberal journalism of doing for years - identify an institution to take down (usually a white male or southern institution), develop a narrative you want to tell about oppression, and then make a poster child out of someone with scant evidence but lots and lots of emotional trauma to talk about.

We give opportunities for fact-checking and input from the accused for bloody war crimes. How did the basic liberal maxim for this one specific injustice become that we should drop all of the pretense of process or critical thinking?

Just off the cuff total guess: there never seems to be much remorse or apology from the people perpetuating sexual assault so it gets increased heat from the people fighting it.

For example, leaving a statue up of someone who helped rape kids because 'hey lol don't tarnish his football career' and the mass outcry of people in support of the dude makes me give less of a poo poo about Rolling Stone potentially smearing fraternities with libel. gently caress
'em, even if that RS story is 100% made up there probably were gang rapes going on at that school that just never got reported.

a rape accusation being proven false is a universally good thing because it motivates journalists and institutions to actually investigate claims. investigating claims is a universally good thing because it means more criminals get caught.

remember when the rolling stone killed the career of our only competent general in Afghanistan because he claimed to have quoted his aides saying President was making terrible decisions, off the record?
