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.

I'm sure the pay is terrible compared to what he made off "The Game" and the various enterprises he created from that.

well in the sense that they have no problem calling for the death penalty for rape while cheering the release of someone who killed over 70 people (breivik). the most popular thread right now is by someone who has schizophrenia, which is actually a pretty apt way to sum d&d up.

Which is interesting because many people also believe 20% of women have been raped. So I guess 1 out of 5 women you see walking around has been subjected to a crime worse than murder. That's pretty messed up to believe something like that.

You know it is kind of interesting though that when a news outlet publishes a blatant lie about other topics nobody seems to really care all that much or demand stringent fact checking.

'I'm against rape and for integrity in journalism :qq:' just kind of makes it sound like a 'I'm not racist but...' rhetorical device.

Democrats want to require you to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. But they don't want you to call it a tax. Under the Baucus bill, the so-called individual mandate would require everyone to buy health insurance or pay as much as a $1,900 fee. If you don't pay up, the IRS could punish you with a $25,000 fine or a year in jail.

Bill O'Reilly, Oct. 27, 2010 posted:

We researched to find out if anybody on Fox News had ever said you're going to jail if you don't buy health insurance. Nobody's ever said it.

So why suddenly outrage over this Rolling Stone rape article? Because it is besmirching the good name of Phi Kappa Psi and the University? Because Rolling Stone is a bastion of ethical hard hitting journalism? Because rape isn't really that big of a deal and SJWs are blowing this whole rape culture thing out of proportion? I mean yeah they should be called on their bullshit but it's not like it's a national news story every time Fox News or CNN or whoever blatantly lie.

I get that the justice system needs to keep a cool head and not turn a problem into an even bigger one by instituting witch hunts but I feel like the sudden righteous indignation over a false news story like it's 1950 or something is a little strange.

Granted, and I thought about that when I was posting, but I also don't really feel like doing a bunch of investigating right now to prove a point on GBS and those people lie with such frequency that it's easy to find stuff like that.

I still think major news sources in the USA aren't to be trusted at their word because none of them really give a poo poo about journalism or integrity or anything like that. I doubt that given an hour or two of effort I wouldn't be able to dig up anything from blatant lies to minor exaggerations to clever framing of an issue across all major news sources and all political spectrums.

Like every single injustice against a man or woman by a force that could be construed as "patriachy" or "feminism" is blown way out of proportion all while the true force of oppression, capital, makes them all rip each other apart as it hides behind a thick veil of ignorance.
