Columbia school of journalism basically accused a journalist for Rolling Stone Magazine of incomplete story full of un-truths in the case of a rape victim at the University of Virginia. There were many holes in the story which forced Rolling Stone to retract the story. The question is what happens now? The fraternity of the defendant is now seeking legal action against Rolling Stone for deformation of character and I think Rolling Stone must settle because why would you retract the story only to fight them in court? The other question you must ask is what happens when another college rape case arises? Will the alleged victim(s) be discredited because of the un-truths of this story?
