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.

Stories like this destroy lives in general but to be false.TRUE victims may now not be believed, others invoved may not be trusted. SMH

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