Hasten to add, everyone should be applying skepticism to Phi Psi's own claims here and attempting to confirm those independently as well.

Look at MSNBC’s Christopher Hayes, talking like a serious journalist. As Twitchy reported, Rolling Stone today apologized to readers for what it called discrepancies in its account of an alleged gang rape of a woman known as Jackie at the University of Virginia. “We have come to the conclusion that our trust in [Jackie] was misplaced,” wrote managing editor Will Dana, adding, we “now regret the decision to not contact the alleged assaulters to get their account.”
What has most outraged Hayes — and amused his followers — is his anger over Rolling Stone allegedly throwing its source under the bus.
Also, fuck you RS for trying to throw your source under the bus: this is on you, not her http://t.co/xb8g3aAveM

We haven’t seen Hayes this upset since he admitted to being “physically enraged” over the Supreme Court’s Voting Rights Act ruling, and it’s fun to have angry Hayes back.
@chrislhayes oh wow. Chris has his panties in a bunch. Acting so tough and butch!!

But as easy as it is to hate Rolling Stone, isn’t “Jackie” culpable as well, not to mention the reporter?

.@chrislhayes What are you talking about??? It's not "on her", the woman who potentially LIED about a gang rape and could've ruined lives?
