Oh, I don’t know. I can’t blame Rolling Stone too much for trying to salvage some dignity when Jezebel (and its sounding board of commenters) was guilty of the exact same thing as it became blindingly obvious that the wheels were falling off the bus of the Jackie narrative. They stuck to their take like a pit bull…

I don’t think I’ve ever used the words “guess this case is closed!” and I have at least tried not to use (and have even very recently argued against) the “look at what X did” argument, as I think it’s very weak/Trumpian. So if I have at all communicated that, I certainly haven’t meant to. But none of us are perfect,…

A little humility please, Gawker brought this on themselves. You are FAR from innocent.

> I still don’t understand why Japan gets singled out...

I can’t get worked up over the Japanese harvesting whales that have a conservation status as “least concern.”

Yes, let’s make fun of the silly negro with the negro name.

I mean, I get the frustration. But the whole “yep he’s a rapist who murdered her” is just... sorry, but no.

Whoa, did she dismiss my comment? O.o

And I disagree with almost none of that. Obviously we’re talking at cross purposes, and have moved far away from the initial trigger for the conversation.

Lol, I like how you are utterly incapable of producing any citations or links that back up your claims and so instead resort to demanding that I be the one to google or otherwise locate evidence to support your claims. But yes, a quick google of Tostee and counterfeit provides numerous articles stating that as an 17…

Yeah, I don’t think she forgot to include that information. It’s Jezebel, the last thing they are concerned about is fair and balanced reporting.

Don’t forget to quote the earlier part where she threatened to break his jaw...which is why he was trying to get her to go out the front door, but as soon as he let go of her she hit him with the telescope piece rather than leaving.

He was cleared of all charges.

Definitely not trolling and bracing myself for the potential barrage of name calling to come...

Hey Anna, remember this?

declared a vendetta against the reporter who didn’t write enough nice things lied about her.

You know, it really bugs me that whenever this happens, the first thing people worry about are women in other cases. And not, you know, the guy who just had his life ruined whether or not he was found innocent.

It also echoes “believe the children” from the satanic daycare scandals, and we all know where that led.

I feel like she’s lying, and it really pisses me off. It makes real victims look bad.
