Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner removed from Rock Hall leadership after controversial comments

38. So, did you seek the original remarks or are you just taking others at their word? There's no support

in asking for the actual comments. Where is the burden of proof? It lies with those making the accusations, not with the accused. That is a simple bar that should not be set aside.

I just don't want to take others at their word. If those who accuse (like the AP article) want to make accusations, they should adduce the proof. Otherwise, the internet can be just a Gish gallop of possible quotations, and everyone ends up outraged but cannot cite what was actually said because they have never actually seen it or heard it. That's sloppy reporting.

Take the second interview that I posted. It contained a comment by Grace Slick that could be taken differently that what it was likely meant, but I did not link to that comment specifically. It seems that either it was fine in your opinion or you did not investigate. Why should I impose the burden of investigation on you or on anyone else? I should not if I actually want to make a point. Similarly, that AP article did nothing to actually produce his remarks.

Thus, the telephone game of outrage continues.
