. hello, everyone, i'm dana, kimberly, bob, eric and greg. this is "the five." >> a major black eye or rolling stone. last month an article was published which described a brutal attack on a woman named jackie at one of the school's fraternity houses. today it's managing editor issue this statement to readers, in the face of new information, there now appears to be discrepancies in jackie's

account. rolling stone admits it never contacted any of the accused for its report. as a result of the unsubstantiated claim, uva's president changed their sexual assaultal policy and even used it to push a sex crimes bill. let's just take a look at some of the media coverage that this article, this very compelling article in rolling stone magazine that led the nightly use nice. >> the claims of a particularly shocking sexual assault have been made public. >> an extraordinary move on one of america's most prestigious campuses, the university of virginia shutting down all fraternities as it investigates sexual assault claims. >> after a very disturbing sexual assault allegation at one of america's most prominent

colleges. their exposed in a rolling stone article and led to suspending all fraternity and sorry errority -- >> if it is a hoax, i think we can all be glad that it did not happen to her. interestingly, richard bradley has a blog. it's richardbradley.net, and he was an editor for george magazine. on his blog he wrote some questions because he had been dp dupeded as an editor into believing steven glass a writer who ichbs denltly was in the same journalism class in college. he was making people think, does this story really hold up? and subsequent reporting have proven that this looks like it's all a hoax. >> right.

right. so, i saw this story come out today, let me get this straight, a major u.s. publication is a poll jazzing for not fact checking a story that accuses gang rape by a major united states university, by the way, one of the most respected universities in the country, they didn't fact check. so the time between the rape and rolling stone publishing that piece, they had plenty of time to fact check, they had plenty of time to go kablg the accused rapists there, so they ran with the story and it's been two weeks since the story ran with rolling stone, "the washington post" has fact checked the story and has found a lot of d discrepancy ies with it. almost two years, from the time of the rape until they published the story, they had two years to fact check what "washington post" found in two weeks.

>> and the fraternity, kimberly is phi cap -- she said we didn't have a party that night. there are some things i just have to wonder if the reporter didn't have any sort of nagging doubt, even though it does seem in the apology from rolling stone that they're kind of blaming her, the person that they said was their source, but nobody actually knows her name. a question for you s can can the university or the fraternity expect any sort of litigation to be successful because of rolling stone's negligence? >> i think so.you have to -- an be something that corrects the situation, where there should be some emphasis that if people are going to engage inner responsible reporting that has

devastating consequences and impact, that they're going to be punished for it. this will act as a deter end for other reporters, to fact check whether or not even a party happened on that day. that would have been the tipping point. they are going to have to pay money for this. i guarantee they'll have to settle some lawsuits. >> i should have mentioned in the green room. "the washington post" years ago dealt with a major story that was a fabrication about a young child who was in danger, whose parents were giving him drugs, and everyone because on the lookout, and it turns out that was fabricated as well. >> let's keep in mind the context here, uva has been under pressure now for a whole bunch of rapes that were unreported

and some of those are in the process of being indicted. i'm not accusing rolling stone, but they're not alone. the stripper down in north carolina, you remember that? that got a whole bunch of guys in trouble. >> the university ended up having to settle with those fraternity brothers who were not guilty. >> and this is not the first time -- it's too attractive a story, that's the problem, you've got something like this, a gang rape at a fraternity. i don't have any personal experience with this, a lot of times there are people who are going to yell that something happened that didn't happen. what about in new york city in central park? these young black kids got accused of doing this to the woman, it turned out not to be true. >> richard bradley, the blogger i mentioned that used to work at george magazine. one of the things he says is the reason why he got duped by

steven glass is that the story line started to fit his own biases. and in this case, at what point does the narrative that the media wants to report on overtake their sensibilities and causes people to lose further trust in media. >> i think this woman who wrote this story, she went in there looking for this narrative. i think she shopped around to a few ivy league universities. she latched on it. ignored her source, her source at one time didn't even want to be put in the article, she still bu pushed for it. the woman is a left wing ideal log, she e's not credible. so say this targets the reputation of rolling stone. rolling stone put the boston

bomber on the cover. rolling stone hosed mcchrystal on an off the record conversation. >> the "new york post," the conservatives -- >> it's confirmation bias, she went in looking for a story, she found the story and she decided not to fact check it. she wanted to know that sexual assault on campus is was a huge epidemic, and she saw this case and she latched on to it. >> let's say that was the case, she was looking for it, she shopped it, she found what she wanted, she found a nugget, and sure turned it into a whole turkey. rolling stone is at fault, even if she writes it, even if she believes it, rolling stone as a responsibility to fact check it. >> would you be careful with that pen? because it's getting very close

to my eye. i'm not accusing rolling stone here , it's not just rolling stone, a lot of the newspapers and magazines where they have been set up and they want the story, they want the story bad, they go and they take journalisti journalistic,. >> let me ask about the statement, specifically, so rolling stone doesn't take any responsibility for itself, it's basically blaming the victim, if she really is a victim in this. >> they have to, because if they blame the victim, then they don't have to pay, they can't say that the they were irresponsible, recklessness. it's not just negligence, i mean destroying people's lives just because they're desperate to sell a couple of magazines. they have no problem sensationalizing, it's just shameful behavior and shoddy journ journalism. >> five guys in paterson, new

jersey were arrested over the weekend for accusations against the same. so i do think that is clear. >> that the's a fallout to this article, that's a fallout to this woman writing the story. the fallout is, when do you believe it? when do you not believe it? will people still come forward? will they be afraid that they're going to be falsely accused, will they be afraid they're going to get dragged through the media, that's one of the negative aspects of the story. >> remember what happened with dan rather, dan rather did the same thing, he wanted to find out what was going on in texas with bush and he bought this hoax with all these forged documents. people's lives are at stake. >> it turned out to be accurate, didn't. >> it did bush really do that.

>> no, not bush, zimmerman. >> do you think she was a racist. >> absolutely. >> it was rob blewy, who was a blogger at the time noticed the fonts were different. it wasn't that the investigative journalists had a big publication. >> a lot of conservative bloggers saw this, asked questions and now look at it. >> they would be held to a different standard, it's just basically journalism. >> i don't think a lot of the reporters are going to send people to rolling stone asking questions. if this was a conservative organization that was doing it, they would be knocking dun their doors. >> i have a really good point to make. ahead new york's mayor may have questioned the racial bias of his own police force, but they want the african-american community to know they have

nothing to fear. and it's facebook friday, if you have a question, you could have it answered. back in a moment.

it's been a rough couple of weeks for law enforcement america after the grand jury's in ---protesters nationwide have been voicing mistrust of police and their sentiments have been echoed by some of the leaders on the left, including the president. >> the way we go about policing has to change. people need to know that black lives and brown lives matter as much as white lives. >> all lives must be valued. all lives. >> african-american, most particularly african-american men, are still more likely to be stopped and searched by police,

charged with crimes and sentenced to longer prison terms. >> there are still problems and communities of color aren't just making these problems up. >> the latest accusations against law enforcement follow the decision of eric gardner in new york city. the nypd is hoping now to reassure the african-american community that they have nothing to fear. >> what does a black man in new york have to fear from the nypd. >> actually he doesn't have anything to fear from us. unfortunately, though -- >> people out there on the street don't think so. >> that's correct. >> i don't think every on the street is worried of police officers, especially if you're not committing any crime. >> i'm trying to give you every advantage by letting you hear what he said and then you can respond. >> i think these are two deci d decidedly different cases, one

was much clearer in ferguson. in this case this cop is a murdering, disgusting thug who should have been indicted and the grand jury were scared to do it. >> can you walk that back a little bit? >> not the slightest bit. >> the murdering part, maybe you can say he used excessive force. bill de blasio injecting race, saying the reason why garner is dead, because of scenturies of racism. the cop may have used excessive force. >> may have used? >> in my opinion i don't think he did. but there is a question. so bill de blasio injecting race into something no one has -- everyone involved including eric gardner's daughter said, race had nothing to do with her father's death. de blasio doing it, it's race-baiting, it's liberal, it's

progressive, it's b.s. >> and conduct unbecoming a may your. >> 99.999 dlerz of police stops are not fatal. there's so many other things going on that are really good in the police force, this is a terrible example. i agree that there are some systemic problems, black people being pulled over more, even being sentenced longer. the grand jury results, that's not the police department's fault. once the case goes to the grand jury, whether it's ferguson or staten island or whatever, the police have nothing to do with it. i think we should keep in mind

99.99% of police encounters across the country are not just nonfatal, but they're actually good at keeping the peace all across our country. >> they have a very difficult job and they don't get any appreciation whatsoever. they put their lives on the lightning. >> and police are in these neighborhoods because that's where a lot of these crimes are being committed. police officers do arrest black people and a lot of the black people are committing crimes, especially violent crimes and felonies at a higher level of the percentage of the population than white people. that's why they're there, to protect other people in those neighborhoods. if they weren't there, all hell would be breaking look. so i understand why if a black man is walking around and he gets extra attention. i understand why he's getting a little bit bent out of shape, but the media like this is narrative of these racist white

cops keeping the black man down. >> they had every right to go up to him, that there was a crime being committed, and that a crime was being committed. he doesn't have a riling to resist arrest, even if he thinks the nature of the arrest shouldn't be happening, there's a procedure to be followed and this man as a preexisting medical condition that km exacerbated this man's death. >> i never said this guy was racist, i don't believe that he was, de blasio made a mistake by saying that, but he is a murder because the fact of the rules of engagement say you're not supposed to -- you had five people there -- >> they should have just tased him. if they had a taser it would have been better if they had

just tased him. and he could have died from that too. so what are you supposed to do. they didn't go after him because he was asian. if he was asian, do you think they would have taken it easier? it doesn't have anything to do with the situation. >> does a guy that's selling an illegal cigarette -- it certainly looks like they treated him like he just shot a cop or killed somebody. they seemed very aggressive. >> you can say that, but i don't think in the beginning, they're talking to him, then he starts to resist, he's a big guy, they do have a right and ability to be able to protect themselves. one guy couldn't take him down. >> what you're saying is the reaction is disproportionate to the nature of the crime. but they had the right to do what they were doing. where it became a police issue says because they outlawed that form of chokehold. >> there's five cops around, isn't there they could have been

working on. >> it's your team that passed dana, the city counsel passed a law saying that it is illegal to sell loose cigarettes, so store owners have the right to believe that -- you have a right to call the cops. you absolutely do. if the city council thinks that it's worth it to have to the police respond to citizens that report laws that are being broken, then they should change that law. but you can't ask a cop to say, okay, well, wire going to pass these laws so we can play indicate the store owners, but we really don't want you to enforce them, or if the big guy says, no, he's not coming with you, what do they do, walk away. >> they have an absolutely right to say this guy is breaking the law and it's hurting my

business. but the cops don't have a right to get a gang crowd. >> bob, you just inflame the situation, you engage in this and you're hysterical about it. they were doing their jobs, they weren't breaking the law, eric gardner was, if you want to address the legislation -- >> they were folln't following rules. >> but it was police procedure that they were following. >> you're the police advocate here. she incites the riot. facebook friday, and up next, the grammy nominations are in, did your favorite artist get a nod? did ours? finding out ahead in the fastest seven. people with type 2 diabetes
