Article here. Excerpt:

'MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said early Monday morning that because of the magazine's strong reputation, the incident has actually pushed the conversation around rape on college campuses "to the forefront."

What seemed to really stun some readers and media critics was that no staff members were fired as a result of the disaster.

NBC's Willie Geist said on "Morning Joe" that it was "jaw-dropping" that writer Erdely is keeping her job.

CNN's Brian Stelter touched on that very point in a post on Monday headlined "No one fired at Rolling Stone. Really?"'

"The report certainly is embarrassing," he wrote. "But what some might call ineptitude on the part of Rolling Stone, others might call a show of loyalty and a second chance for the staff."

Finding ways to trash males, esp. those pesky college boys, has never been a reason to get sacked. Standing up for truth and/or justice, however, is a great way to get fired, esp. if it vindicates falsely-accused males.

Erdely's actually a genius in her own way. Watch, she'll make editor soon enough. It's all about press and subscriptions. For the first time in a long time, RS as a publication itself has gotten press. That translates into "ka-ching!" and they know (and can count) it. Editor-in-chief for her, one day maybe.
