#2We should not forget that illicit images are easily 'found' in convenient places to get people put behind bars.
I don't really blame this journalist for suspecting the illicit images claim may not be as true as it appears.

#3News that cares this much about sensationalizing isn't news. While I'm entirely for unfettered protection of free speech, free speech doesn't include the right to lie, at least not in a professional capacity. Perhaps we need to start punishing intentionally deceptive reporting by not allowing these people to call themselves journalists and / or not allowing these sources of information to call themselves news.

Based upon NPR's telling it seems like the editor was trying to hide details about a friend's story as long as possible, and not present the details of the story with skepticism like you're implying.

#7Rolling Stone magazine has been going down hill for a long time. There reporting of late has been pretty disappointing with slanted views/one sided reporting

I think it's a problem that can take care of itself. People need to be incredulous. Why would anyone reading Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue, Ars Technica, Vice, Buzfeed, or any of the other publications clearly in the realm of entertainment imagine that they actually do "journalism" in the usual sense.

I know what you're referring to but don't think this is one of those cases.
The affidavit is very thorough about what was found. Starts on page 3.
