This was Rolling Stone's biggest mistake in their now-retracted UVA story

Rolling Stone published a scathing report from Columbia Journalism School Sunday night , which details the many issues in their discredited article on sexual assault at the University of Virginia. Rolling Stone officially retracted the UVA article Sunday night, replacing it online with the Columbia report — compiled by journalism school dean Steve Coll. Columbia's investigative report reviewed of Rolling Stone's reporting and editorial decisions, specifically in how the magazine covered the story of UVA student "Jackie," who alleged in the article that she was gang-raped at a campus fraternity house. Much — if not all — of Jackie's story has now been disproved , by outside media reports, a police investigation, and now the Columbia review. Jackie told Rolling Stone that she was gang-raped during a date party on September 28, 2012, at the campus' Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house. In Rolling Stone's article, three of the UVA student's friends meet her after she is allegedly raped, telling her to keep quiet to protect both her own reputation and the school's Greek system. Although it appears that the other students are quoted directly — albeit with pseudonyms — all of their comments are taken from what Jackie told Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely. In fact, after the Rolling Stone article was published, all three students came forward independently under their real names to provide alternate accounts of what actually happened
