cluelessness and herd mentality

The guy[0] who pointed out how ridiculous the Rolling Stone UVA rape story was while the press was eating it up, made the point that when people are told what they want to hear they don't ask many questions.

I wonder how much the Grrlpower element around this story dissuaded some obvious questions in the initial reporting around this mess.

Not to immediately jump into your assertion as correct in this instance, I do recall such an element being used as an initial defense by GoldiBlox after they sued the Beastie Boys. It was a real horror show. Still wish it had gone to court for some legal clarity, oh well.
