AP Spins Ludicrously to Rehabilitate Sabrina Erdely's Tattered Reputation
Geoff Mulvilhill of the AP proved today that the Guild Protects Its Own, as it wrote an article praising Sabrina R. Erdely containing false claims.
Retracted Rolling Stone story is rare demerit for its writerFirst of all, her career isn't very illustrious; she's a freelance magazine writer writing silly pieces for trashy outlets. But secondly, she has in fact been credibly accused of very shoddy, agenda-driven journalism -- including her trick of not contact the people she's accusing for proper comment. And that was in another raped-woman-spurned-by-male-oppressor-power-structure story, a bit of a specialty for the "illustrious" Sabrina Erdely. I can kind of excuse that because of the media's rule that "it doesn't exist if we don't say it exists." The AP probably doesn't know about Leon Wolf's story, but even if they did, they wouldn't care, because it wasn't filed by a "Real Journalist," who would employ all sorts of professional rules to guarantee its fairness and basic correspondence to reality. You know, a Real Journalist like Sabrina Erdely, who has reported lunatic fantasies of a troubled girl as if they were true, and then deceptively wrote her article to hide from readers the fact that she had been in contact with exactly none of the important witnesses or even the alleged rapists. Including alleged rapist ringleader, one Haven Monahan of 16 Dreamybrook Lane. In fact, she didn't even know this man's name -- and used the pseudonym "Drew" to hide that fact, counting on readers to just assume "oh, they're just using a fake name for legal reasons." Nope! She was using a fake name to hide the fact she had no real name to call him by. So absolutely, let's not credit Leon Wolf, until he Ups His Game to the Sabrina Erdely Standard of Excellence. But here's where he really gets dishonest: He actually claims the CJR report partially vindicates Erdely, by clearing her a charge he claims "critics" made -- even though he can name no critics who ever made such a charge.
By Geoff Mulvihill | AP April 7 The retracted Rolling Stone article about an apparently fictional gang rape at the University of Virginia is a blemish on an otherwise illustrious career for the journalist who wrote it.
Ah yes, Geoff Mulvihill; it was just a Win Some, Lose Some kind of day for Erdely. On one hand, she was castigated for deliberate deception in her negligent reportage; but on the other hand, she was cleared of the most serious charge against her, that she "made it up." No one ever said Erdely made it all up -- no one doubted Jackie existed, and was telling this story. There were indeed speculations that Jackie made it all up-- which is in fact the case. Mulvahill simply invents a charge never made, which he then claims that Erdely was cleared on. Since around 2:30 today, I have repeated asked AP and Mulvahill for examples of "critics" claiming Erdely "made it up." Neither has responded. I have never witnessed such a claim. At this point, I can say: AP and Mulvahill were asked for examples of critics who claimed Erdely "made it up," but were either unwilling or unable to do so by 7 pm Eastern. The claim, then, stands at this point as simply fabricated, like so much else in this tale. Here's something else that'll raise your eyebrows about the credibility of the still-alleged-"victim" Jackie: University of Virginia's student newspaper, the Daily Cavalier, did something Sabrina Erdely didn't bother with (spoke to the three friends that were with Jackie after her alleged "rape"). Jackie seems to have had it in for the girl in that trio, Kathryn Hendley. Jackie seemed to not want a female presence present when she was talking about her rape, which seems odd:
... The Columbia report did not support what some critics have speculated -- that Erdely made it up. *
Dufflin called his friend Alex Stock a fellow first-year student at the time who says he is "Andy" in the Rolling Stone article who was out with their mutual friend Kathryn Hendley, also a first year. They left the party they were attending and walked back though Jackie made clear, Stock said, she did not want Hendley "Cindy" in the article to come along. "I thought that was really weird, obviously, because we were really good friends at the time and if she were upset I would have thought she would come to me first or at least at the same time as them," Hendley said. "So I went with him anyway." As they approached, Duffin called Stock again and asked why he'd brought Hendley along. She opted to stay back while the two talked things over with Jackie, and ultimately she went home without ever directly discussing with Jackie what had made her so upset.So Jackie just wanted to talk about the rape with the two boys, one of whom she had a crush on so strong she would invent a George Glass character named "Haven Monahan" in an effort to attract his attention. And later, Hendley -- "Cindy" -- says Jackie lied about her:
Hendley said Jackie started a personal rumor about her which created a chasm in their friendship.What was that rumor? She doesn't say. However, we know the claims Jackie made about her in the Rolling Stone article. (At least according to Erdely-- unless she's making this up, AP.)
Hendley said she was troubled after reading the article -- which describes her as a "self-proclaimed hookup queen" who callously advocates against calling the police because it would make Jackie "the girl who cried rape." "I know that its not based in fact, but it's weird to think other people think of you like that," she said. "It's kind of a weird out-of-body experience."Pretty foul stuff. No wonder Jackie didn't want Erdely talking to "Cindy," eh? And so we see the consequences of Erdely's sloppy, dirty, and defamatory form of journalism. If she had simply observed the most basic of rules, she would have learned, from Hendley, that Jackie had started a rumor about her. Lied, in other words, most likely to increase her own position while harming Hendley's. That would have been something important to know for the article, wouldn't it have? But, per AP -- hey, she's got an illustrious career going. And she was cleared of the most serious charge against her, you know. And of course: Open Thread. * Actually, it's been pointed out to me that actually two UVa officials have objected to the story, taking their quotes deliberately out of context to put them into Erdely's stardard narrative structure as The Uncaring Authority Figures. So those two people do in fact claim she made it up. The CJR doesn't deal with these claims in the main body of the report, but rather in a footnote. Early critic Richard Bradley says they should be highlighted in the main body of the report, as they are very illuminating as to Erdely's lack of candor. See point 9. Eramo specifically accuses Erdely of making up her alleged quote that UVa is a "rape school" and that parents should be afraid to send their daughters there. Now, the CJR report doesn't say who's right -- they note this here, in Footnote 3 -- but that quote is hard to believe, and Ms. Erdley's reputation for truthfulness is damaged beyond repair. Furthermore, it cannot be said the CJR "clears" Erdely of that charge-- it rather leaves it hanging, for people to judge for themselves. It looks like CJR just punted on these allegations, possibly because there were so many other Huge Lies to discuss, possibly because the only possible answer -- that if you had to guess, at this point, you would assume Erdely is lying, based on her documented negligence and deliberate deceptiveness -- would be too damning too Erdely. Of course, this isn't just about Erdely. The "editor" Sean Woods blessed the deception at each step, and often seems to have taken the initiative in placing deceptions into the piece. For example, it was Woods' call, by his own admission, to deliberately obscure the fact a key "Randal" statement had come from Jackie, not "Randall."
Woods allowed the "shit show" quote from "Randall" into the story without making it clear that Erdely had not gotten it from him but from Jackie. "I made that call," Woods said. Not only did this mislead readers about the quote's origins, it also compounded the false impression that Rolling Stone knew who "Randall" was and had sought his and the other friends' side of the story.That "call" -- that call to deliberately deceive. It's incredible no one's been fired.

I just watched the video of the actual traffic stop in SC and now I'm even more confused over wtf happened.
It was completely cordial until the guy randomly bolted. Nothing was happening.
The only thing that I can come up with is that the car, which supposedly had been purchased with the past few days, was stolen either by the victim or someone he knew.
Otherwise...I mean, it was really weird.

Confirmation Bias and Appeal to Authority.
If the story says what you want to believe, you believe it. If the author then can cite a recognized expert you believe it even more, and the Gell-Mann amnesia effect says that even though you know the author has lied to you before, this time you believe the author because you want to believe the story.
The liberal left never questions their conclusions, rejects data that does not confirm their conclusion, actively seeks out data that supports their conclusion and calls it Science!
Real Scientists constantly re-examine their conclusions. Try to disprove their own conclusions, show their work to other scientists so that others can also attempt to independently prove or disprove the conclusion, and when evidence is found that contradicts the conclusion everything is re-examined, the data, the conclusion, the methodology.

"And I put her in touch with a couple of students who had . . . normal rape stories, and none of them were good enough for her," said Brodsky in the session.
Brodsky's comment strengthens suspicions that Erdely was seeking an explosive and dramatic criminal act to anchor her story on this issue. As this blog has pointed out before, Erdely bypassed more prosaic exemplars of sexual assault on the U-Va. campus itself as she clung to the dramatic alleged gang rape of Jackie, the central alleged victim of "A Rape on Campus.'"

Fuck it, I'll say it. Erdley made it up.
She made it up when she implied that she had tried to contact the fraternity.
She made it upwhen she said she checked her sources.
She made it up when she said there was a rape epidemic on American campuses.
She is MORE guilty then poor dimwitted, deluded Jackie.
She took the lies that Jackie told her, and then embellished them, buffed them, polished, them, made them shine. She KNEW they were lies, but what the hell, YOLO, right? On top of that, in no way does the Columbia report exonerate her from any of this. Get this -AP is now making shit up as well.
I would say the rest of her entire career should be suspect, in fact every single solitary thing she has ever written should be accompanied with an asterisk.

It was a night flight. Ground fog developed. They were flying VFR, and their only map was a road map. They had to fly close enough to the ground to follow visible landmarks. My old man was acting navigator for a pilot who 'had a heavy left foot' in hilly terrain, so they were flying below the hilltops.

Why? It told an important story - rape is at epidemic levels in privileged white society. Based on computer models, every woman who has read this collection of lies and propaganda has been raped by a member (sorry, trigger warning!) of the white phallocracy at least thrice during the time it took her to read it.
You can't refute the truthiness, hatemonger.

They are still SERVICE-CONNECTED and that's what the VA pays for.
BTW, the service doesn't pay for any of your benefits after you're out, except your retirement pay, and that's only if you've put in 20 years.
Everything comes form the VA, and last I checked, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs wasn't in charge of the VA.
I'd like to see what article you're looking at.

Nowhere in the act, however, does it offer combat benefits for service members permanently disabled in attacks inspired or motivated by foreign terrorist organizations. Although subsequent and guidance may change, currently, the Board has no authority to award V1/V3 (service related) designation to soldiers disabled during the Fort Hood attack.

O! to make him love this drunken whore,
As I staggered, mouth a-gaping, suddenly he began a raping,
Casting me down upon his frat house floor.
"You're just some ass that needs a-waxing," he grunted
"Only this, and nothing more."
Pretty sure that I remember it was in a month that ends in - ember (?)
And each evil brother banged me rudely on the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - to tell my tale, full of sorrow
Of the guy with whom I was workin'
Who thought of me while he was jerkin', yet who shall be
Nameless here for evermore.

I rarely go to ONT now, I've been waking up early & going to sleep earlier.
I wish I could offer advice on smudge pots. But I haven't been able to stay out in garden more than or if it was an hour & it's a mess from very cold temps before we has all the snow.
I want to move to Marble Falls, Texas.
Own house with older brother & I gave on NC & he gave on AZ, & I searched NM & it's not good.
He's got to search because I have Horde giving me info & everyone in Texas loves it & is proud to be from Texas!

But Rolling Stone has a national, nay, global reach. Using the magazine, Jackie could be a national star! Invited to speak at the Democrat National Convention! And the reporter could be on her way to a Pulitzer!
Yes, Jackie and the UVA president deserve to be excoriated.
But Rolling Stone made this a national story, and fodder for the SJW's.

I'm still not clear on whether "jackie" is her real first name.
Why do they keep on hiding her full name.
She should be named and shamed just as she attempted with a bunch of other people.
She deserves no anonymity as so far there is NO proof that anything happened to her.

Pressing down on you, no man question.
My agenda! Burns a frat house down
Libels a man or two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
That my story's bullshit
Watching my good friends
Saying, "Don't even sweat it!"
Tomorrow my pay's higher
Screwing more people - people on streets
Er-de-ly
Ok
Not sniffin' around,
kick ethics to the door
These are the days - it never rains but it pours
My source laughs under pressure she's cracking
But we'll give ourselves one more chance
Yes, we'll give ourselves one more chance
Why can't it be true, be true, be true, be true, be true,
be true, be true, be true
But truth's such an old-fashioned concept
And fraud dares you to slander
The people who did nothing
And fraud dares you to change your way of
Slanting the truth now
I'll get one more chance
I'll get one more chance
This is myself
No more ethics
My agenda

Got to work in the morning, still stuck in a dream,
cooped up on moonlab, I went to the screen
Years of waiting, still no sign of hope
Then I saw a light flash on the radio telescope
I couldn't believe it, heart turned to stone
I tried to swallow, I picked up the phone
I said to my assistent, "You won't believe this but
I don't give a damn
I've just received a message - come over here
As soon as you can, now hurry."
'Earth calling moonlab, it's too early to say but we
Believe the signal's about a thousand light years away
Whatever form of life it is, for all we know
Might be extinct now, wiped out centuries ago
Shut up, locate the planet, communication has begun
It's from the second nearest star system to our
sun now, there it is
"You'd like to see us but that cannot be - we
cannot even reach you with simple telepathy
Your mind is not developed, you'd find us much too
strange
You see, we have no structure, we constantly change
We merge with our surroundings, we fluidly adapt our
shape
If we came down now
You would be the form we'd take
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

I got an email today from my church warning that a group of SJWs will be protesting us. It doesn't say who but I'm guessing the Westboro Inbred Brigade or the Lavender Mafia. My church believes the Bible means what is says and that sin is sin. My guess its the LGBT Gestapo. Other church's are being targeted by the Cultists of Perpetual Outrage so Church goers in the DC Metro area, be careful. Don't react to them. Its what they want. If you do react, expect Lawfare at you and your Church.

Erdely did not make it up. Jackie the liar made up the story. Erdely just parroted Jackie's story because it made her Rolling Stone piece memorable.
Erdely was just too irresponsible and malicious to fact check ANY of Jackie's lies.
