Rolling Stone Will Not Discipline People Involved in Discredited Rape Story

According to media reports, Rolling Stone magazine has no plans to disciple anyone involved in the no-retracted story about a "gang rape" and University of Virginia.

The publisher, Jann Wenner, said he will not take disciplinary action against editors or fact-checkers who produced the controversial "A Rape on Campus" story published last year, according to CNN.

"No one will be dismissed or suspended as a result of the error-filled story," CNN reported, citing unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the case.

CNN reported Wenner claimed the mistakes were unintentional and not purposely deceitful.

How can you possibly believe that the writer, who did not even attempt to fact check or corroborate a story that is, on its face, horrific, not do so intentionally? Did anyone at that magazine even wonder what the consequences would be for the people accused of the now debunked crime?

In December, the magazine took steps to walk back the the allegations in the article claiming they should not have trusted the purported victim's account. The police investigation also found there was no evidence that the alleged rape took place.
