Couldn’t’ve happened to a nicer bunch of people.

It is my sincerest hope that everyone who contributed to that @RollingStone UVA piece never finds work in journalism again. Ever.

Hope Erdely and Rolling Stone are patting themselves on the backs today. Quite a legacy they’ve established for themselves.
Few people have done more damage to the fight against campus rape than @SabrinaRErdely — really sad.
