Last week, the Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak reported that a grand jury had found that Loudoun County Public Schools had a “stunning lack” of transparency and “intentional amnesia” surrounding the case of the girl who was raped in a high school bathroom by a biological male student who happened to be wearing a skirt.
Loudoun's schools had a “stunning lack” of transparency around the bathroom rape & “intentional amnesia” when testifying about it, a grand jury said today, adding that it might've indicted LCPS' lawyer for witness tampering if such a law existed in VA.https://t.co/Ibg5J7QnN5

You can read Rosiak’s full thread here (we highly recommend it).
And then take heart in the news that at least some of the people who deserve it most are getting what’s been coming to them:

The father of one of the assault victims reacts to the new indictments.
“This is just the beginning. This isn't the end.”

Rosiak is also getting what he deserves, which is credit for his dogged investigative reporting that ultimately led to this outcome for Scott Ziegler and Wayde Byard.
Two Loudoun County school officials were just criminally indicted for last year's rape coverup thanks to stellar reporting from The Daily Wire ✊ https://t.co/h8fLWSfcTE

Bravo.
Loudoun's schools superintendent and spokesman have been indicted for their alleged conduct related to the handling of a bathroom rape exposed by @realDailyWire.
Spokesman Wayde Byard did not return a request for comment on his felony perjury charge.https://t.co/vgik76sKXD

Of course, Rosiak’s not getting all the credit he deserves, at least not from everyone who should be giving it to him. Like the New York Times, for example. Remember when Times opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg dismissed Rosiak’s reporting as “the Right’s big lie about a sexual assault in Virginia”? Rosiak remembers:
How it started …. How it's going pic.twitter.com/Xc103yyTNj
— Luke Rosiak (@lukerosiak) December 12, 2022
We remember it, too. It was shameful and disgusting.
Well, the New York Times doesn’t seem to be in any rush to apologize for smearing Rosiak’s work. In fact, it looks like they’re just going to pretend that none of this ever happened:
Might be time for the @NYTimes to update readers on the goings on in Loudoun County, Virginia: pic.twitter.com/wGYFfpFgz0

For eff’s sake, New York Times.

Ah, yes, the @NYTimes memory hole, founded in 1619
— japecake (@japecake) December 13, 2022
Heh. Fake, but all too accurate.
Totally discrediting. It's not as if there isn't an entire grand jury report that was released to the public that puts the lie to this narrative completely.
— MoG1717 (@mog1717) December 13, 2022
All the news that fits the narrative
— Let's Go Brandon (@RussianMeddler) December 12, 2022
That would be far more accurate slogan for the outlet.
The NYT’s best day in their entire history may well have been the recent one day strike, when they went the better part of a day without printing lies because the propagandists walked out (all too briefly).
— Steven P. Smith (@stevenpsmith) December 12, 2022
They should walk out again.
The update will appear on the same page as the apology to Tom Cotton for what they said about his editorial.
— Eric Greenbaum (@EricGreenbaum) December 12, 2022
In other words, don’t hold your breath for the New York Times to acknowledge their massive failure of journalism and integrity.
