For those who can't use the "web" workaround to see the submitted wsj.com article, here's the WaPo version (and FWIW, the WaPo deserves huge credit for being the first big media outlet to scrutinize the Rolling Stone article -- they even found the 3 friends of the purported victim that the Rolling Stone didn't even bother to identify or contact):

By the way, the easy workaround for WaPo article restrictions is to open them in an anonymous window. Occasional visitors can just click directly since you get a small quota of free articles per time period, I don't remember the details though.

By the way, a German newspaper that just introduced paid articles lead to my discovery of a new loophole: Google translate. It gives me the full article. Everybody clicking on the site itself only gets the first two paragraphs.


I regularly go over the WaPo limit (it's something like 3 articles a month)...I've found it easier to direct Chrome to block cookies from the domain. This has the effect of breaking the loading of the WaPo comments section -- I think they do a sloppy check of localStorage to see if what comments have posted since you last visited -- which is actually an even nicer benefit :)
