Quote: The only thing I have a questions over regarding a claim of rape story is that it was pulled.
Because if Gene runs a story that he believes to be false, and it does in fact turn out to be false, then he can be sued for Libel under the actual malice standard enunciated in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964).
Journalism 101.
Yes, rape is a heinous crime, and I'm all for castrating those who commit it. But nothing's been proven here yet. Nobody's been arrested and no charges have been filed. Gene's not my favorite human being on the planet, but he's got the right to cover his ass.
