I almost never say this, but heads need to Roll at Stone. This is criminal journalistic incompetence. What they never checked is sickening.

      @geneweingarten why did it take so long for all the OTHER news sources (@washingtonpost included) to do basic fact-checking?

      @snarkyRedhd @geneweingarten Someone in a comment suggested that frat party dates were a matter of public record. At least that's not true.

      @snarkyRedhd @geneweingarten I actually find them useful to gauge the troll levels, so as to ascertain validity. See: http://abstrusegoose.com/527
