I just noticed the original story from the Rolling Stone has now also been picked up by Dutch news outlets. I can imagine the same happens in other countries all over the world.
It's amazing how fast the lazy behavior of a single journalist can make incorrect news spread that fast.
I notified a couple of Dutch journalists on Twitter, as I am curious whether they will (and how) correct this.
It seems that many journalists in my country just pretty much translate and summarize foreign media.
