Yeah that's their spin on the story, the reality is that they got busted though.
- rgovostes 6y agoSeveral years ago, Rolling Stone published story about a rape that allegedly occurred at a University of Virginia fraternity. It was the Washington Post and not Rolling Stone themselves that discovered holes in the story. But Rolling Stone owned up to it and engaged the Columbia School of Journalism to investigate the lapses in their reporting and fact-checking processes, resulting in a damning report which RS published in a subsequent issue. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/rolling-stone-and-uva-the-columbia-university-graduate-school-of-journalism-report-44930/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/rolling-st... I don't expect NYT to be perpetually fact checking stories after publication, but when they "get busted," I absolutely expect them to re-investigate and publish their findings.
