'The Hunting Ground' director claims film is 'completely accurate,' despite inaccuracies

Article here. Excerpt:

'The backlash against the inaccuracies in "The Hunting Ground" has apparently gotten to director Kirby Dick. On Wednesday, he defended the film to The Hollywood Reporter, which was reporting on the criticism.

Then on Thursday, Dickwrote his own op-edĀ for the Reporter to defend the film, which airs Sunday on CNN. In it, Dick tries to dispute the claim that "The Hunting Ground" followed the same journalistic practices (or lack thereof) as Rolling Stone when it reported a gang-rape hoax at the University of Virginia.

Dick claims that "not a single case that we featured in the film has been discredited as being untrue." I'm not sure there is such a thing anymore as discrediting a case. There are people to this day who claim that something must have happened to the Rolling Stone hoaxer, Jackie, to make her tell such a tale.'
