This 'legendary' Rolling Stone fact checking flashback is TOO good (Bonus: Greg Gutfeld nails it)

But for real; Take a gander at this doozy:

Has anyone ever said this about Rolling Stone? “legendarily tough fact checking procedures”? pic.twitter.com/Y51oXZlqnB

Stop it! Our sides are aching so hard. Twitchy readers know about the atrocity known as Rolling Stone and its now disastrous and discredited UVA gang rape story by contributing editor Sabrina Rubin Erdely. But, hey! “Legendarily tough fact checking,” guys!

@MZHemingway um, the first claim I had seen was Matt Taibbi's, a claim made only this past week. Apparently now it's just a "Known Fact."

Yep. His claim sparked much mockery and deservedly so.

@MZHemingway That is like saying Mad Magazine has "legendary fact checkers." Then again, don't remember them ever screwing up this badly.

Snicker.

@MZHemingway @DanRiehl well, Rolling Stone DID get "Boston Bomber as victim" right… oh, wait..

Ah yes. Remember that repugnant move that inspired actor James Woods to call out the “sh*trag” mag?

And another flashback that should crush the “legendarily tough fact checking” claim once and for all:
