Discredited rape story a test for Wenner, Rolling Stone

FILE - In this April 18, 2013 file photo, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chairman, and "Rolling Stone" magazine editor and publisher, Jann Wenner, speaks during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Los Angeles. Wenner, who founded the magazine as a 20-year-old college dropout, is weathering the stiffest test of Rolling Stone's credibility that the magazine has faced in its 48-year history. On Sunday, April 5, 2015, the magazine retracted last November's story on sexual assault at the University of Virginia in advance of the release of a damning Columbia University report about its reporting and editing, and on Monday, a fraternity named in the story threatened a lawsuit.

O'Rourke, Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner has never been afraid to push boundaries.
