> The Duke rape case completely blew up Rollingstones credibility pretty much forever it was that egregious.

So what you're saying is that one act of disingenuous credibility should forever taint a publisher? Say...like Joe Rogan?



Well considering OP hasn’t even proven disinformation by Rogan yet, let’s start there.

And Rollingstone has multiple examples of either exaggerating stories or making them up out of whole cloth.

Ok so then maybe don't make statements like this:

> blew up credibility pretty much forever it was that egregious.


I think my statement is reasonable.

There is “misinformation”, saying something untrue, then there is straight up spreading lies you know are untrue (Duke rape case), trying to cover it up when exposed and doing it multiple times.

I think the 2nd can permanently destroy credibility.
