Rolling Stone to Retract Botched Rape Story as Damning Review Is Released (Report)
http://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/rolling-stone-to-retract-botched-rape-story-as-damning-review-is-released-report/ar-AAasMU9The author of Rolling Stone's discredited "A Rape on Campus" story, Sabrina Rubin Erderly, will apologize Sunday in conjunction with the release of the Columbia Journalism School's external review of the erroneous story, according to media reports.
Rolling Stone will also pull the story from its site and put Columbia's review in its place, Brian Stelter reported Sunday on CNN's "Reliable Sources." The decision to take the story down is a fairly unprecedented step in the digital media era.
The reportedly 12,000-word review is expected to be a damning piece that places fault in all corners of Rolling Stone for errors made in the reporting and storytelling process for the campus rape story, published in November. Rolling Stone will also be taking responsibility for its errors, Stelter reported.
The review will be authored by Columbia Journalism School Dean Steve Coll. It is expected to be published on the Columbia Journalism Review's website as well as on Rolling Stone's site.

About time, this was a clusterfuck from the get go.

although I believe most mistakes could have been caught by a junior high journalism class. 
I hope the reporter is shunned by every news org out there, this was such shoddy reporting and not even an attempt to verify if her story was true or not.
