Chuck C. Johnson Lies Again, Calls Rolling Stone Writer “Plagiarist” Based On… Nothing
Oh brother. Do I really have to write another piece about this noxious sociopath?
Yes, it’s Chuck C. Johnson again, dear friends, still attacking Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Erdely like a rabid ankle-biting chihuahua, in another blatantly dishonest and distorted (not to mention horribly written) blog post titled:
It opens with:
Embattled Rolling Stone journalist Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s first ever story for Rolling Stone had serious factually [sic] problems according to her.
There’s a video that goes with this piece of garbage, and once again, there’s nothing in it that backs up Chuck’s wild accusations of fakery and plagiarism. Nothing. Nada. This post is nothing but a sham, start to finish. Obviously, Chuck is a guy with sheer contempt for the intelligence of his target audience.
Things that are wrong, distorted, or dishonest:
- Erdely talks about a story of hers that won Rolling Stone's College Journalism Competition. It was not a "story for Rolling Stone," it was an entry in a contest.
- The story was not "faked" at all. Erdely says her story was wrong in many details, and she readily admitted it. She said it was mistaken, not "faked." That's Chuck's word, and it's a distortion.
- The plagiarism accusation is libelous, and there's absolutely nothing in the video that supports it; Erdely talks about doing research for her article, not "plagiarism." Chuck completely made this up.
For a guy who’s threatening to sue everybody on the Internet who even looks at him cross-eyed, Chuck certainly feels no hesitation about engaging in grossly false defamation himself.
