Jim Goad: A Rolling Stone Gathers No Rape

December 8, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Jim Goad writes:

The story’s author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, once penned a Rolling Stone feature that sort of implied Michele Bachmann was to blame for an epidemic of gay teen suicides in Minnesota. Prior to “A Rape on Campus,” four of Erdely’s five previous articles for Rolling Stone were pious defenses of the “transgendered,” those militant fairy-tale sprites who insist they’re what everyone knows they aren’t and what a simple chromosomal test would prove they aren’t.

RELATED:

The other day Steve Sailer connected the dots between the authoress of the infamous Rolling Stone story and Stephen Glass, the fabulist who duped the Left many years ago. Sabrina Erdly was a classmate if Glass and she wrote a glowing article about him after his demise. That connection says nothing about the veracity of her claims, but it adds a nice bit of color to the controversy. At the minimum, Erdly is not someone who thinks fabricating stories is a bad thing, if it is for the right cause.

Here’s where things get interesting. One of Erdly’s sources for her tale, is a woman named Emily Renda. She is a UVA grad who brought “Jackie” to the attention of Erdly. It turns out that Renda was not just a concerned citizen. She was working for the White House and was part of the Administration’s new crusade to end the alleged rape culture on campus.
