Columbia Review of Rolling Stone’s UVA Rape Hoax Story to Be Released Tonight

Associated Press: News organizations following up on Rolling Stone’s horrifying tale of a gang rape at the University of Virginia exposed serious flaws in the report and the Charlottesville Police Department said its four-month investigation found no evidence that the attack happened — or that the man who allegedly orchestrated it even exists.

TV Reporter’s Cheap ‘Gotcha’ Story Incites Hate Mob Against Indiana Pizza Shop

“RFRA: Michiana business wouldn’t cater a gay wedding.” “Restaurant denies some services to same-sex couples.” That’s how Alyssa Marino “reported” a story Tuesday on ABC affiliate WBND-TV in South Bend, Indiana, with the result that a firestorm of hatred came raining down on a pizza shop: There were no complaints nor denials of service to […]

The Social Justice Lynch Mob

Ashe Schow demolishes the Obama Age media: The point here is that in example after example, the prevailing narrative sold by the media and social justice activists has been disproven after an investigation of the facts.
