As Twitchy told you, disgraced reporter Sabrina Erdely and disgraced magazine Rolling Stone have been found liable for defamation over the now-infamous “A Rape on Campus” piece. We’re confident that Erdely is crafting a characteristically well-written and genuine response. But in the meantime, Rolling Stone’s already issued a statement regarding the decision and it’s about as sincere and contrite as you’d expect:

“Journalistic mistakes.” “Missteps.” Talk about sugar-coating.
I’ve composed, then deleted, three profanity-laced responses to this. PLEASE. https://t.co/5DQDc6cytK

Rolling Stone’s not sorry for defaming anyone; they’re only sorry they got caught.

It is not an apology if there is a 'but' involved. At the very root of Liberal thought is that the end always justifies the means.

@RollingStone You know what helps sexual assault victims? Not publishing fake stories so that the remainder are believable.
