Article here. Excerpt:
'Last Wednesday, Rolling Stone‘s website published an article titled: “Why Derrick Rose Rape Trial May Wreck NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s Legacy.” Friday, Rolling Stone deleted the article from its site. (An archived version can be found here.)
Politico reports that Rolling Stone was contacted by the NBA, which had a number of objections to the story. Rolling Stone subsequently issued two corrections.
Deadspin reports that Rolling Stone sports editor Jason Diamond was going back-and-forth on the corrections with the NBA before unnamed superiors on the masthead got involved, and apparently made the decision to take the piece down Friday morning.'

RS used to be a reliable journalistic source
Not anymore. Of course much of our media has gone to heck where journalism is concerned so why should RS be any different?
