False UVa Campus Gang Rape Story - Rolling Stone's "Worst Nightmare"


Here is an article about the ongoing lawsuit regarding the false UVa campus gang rape story that was published in Rolling Stone:

I'm sure it was the writer's "worst nightmare."  But, will she admit that one of the driving forces that led to this "nightmare" was the overwhelming lack of objectivity in the press (and government) regarding this issue?  Instead of unbiased reporting, they act as advocates pushing a narrative:  

"Assume the truth of the story and the complainant."
"Presume the guilt of those accused."
"Don't question or confront, just accept and believe."

Then, uh oh, "our worst nightmare"...
