Rolling Stone magazine loses credibility after UVA college gang rape article is questioned; the bigger issue is that it hurt a legitimate issue

Listed below is one quote from the article.

"But the worst things is that people who are victims of rape will not be believed," Hemingway said. "That is the worst part of this story. I don't think the writer or this magazine could have done more damage to victims of rape if they had set out to."

Rape is a very serious issue. The Rolling Stone article could have been an important article to raise awareness about gang rape, particularly at college frats.

I agree with the quote above. The freelance writer, a woman, did harm to real victims. Rolling Stone's lukewarm apology is not enough.
