Rolling Stone Editor Who Oversaw Jackie's Rape Hoax Story to Step Down, Be Promoted Into a More Prominent Position and Be Paid Much More Money

I merely assume all that stuff at the end -- isn't that always how it works?

You cannot fail in the progressive politico-corporate-media complex. If you publish things that aren't true, but help The Cause (and why would you ever publish something that doesn't help The Cause?), your failures will be rewarded.

After all -- your heart was in the right place.

So congratulations, Will Dana. I see wonderful things in your future due to your catastrophic failure.

The editor who oversaw Rolling Stone magazine’s erroneous story about a fraternity gang rape at the University of Virginia will leave the magazine, more than eight months after the story was published.

Will Dana, Rolling Stone’s managing editor, will step down next month after nearly two decades at the magazine. His departure comes amid a series of defamation lawsuits against the magazine as a result of its publication in November of "A Rape on Campus," which described an alleged gang rape that authorities determined never occurred.
