MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle is calling out Rolling Stone for its baseless claim that President Donald Trump was relentlessly booed at the U.S. Open men’s finals. In a report published on Sunday, Rolling Stone alleged that the crowd “booed Trump repeatedly,” even during the National Anthem and when his face was shown on the arena screen. But Ruhle, who was actually at the event, shot down the narrative with a simple, firsthand account.

“I was there. I didn’t witness him getting booed & the delay wasn’t a big deal,” Ruhle posted on X, clarifying that the day was about enjoying great tennis, not making it about political spectacle. “The President was there too.” Ruhle’s direct experience contradicted the claims made by Rolling Stone, which seemed to rely on reports from two users on the left-wing social media site BlueSky. These users alleged “audible boos and a few light claps” but offered no substantial evidence to back their claims.

Rolling Stone’s credibility took a major hit with this report, especially considering its history of publishing unverified and misleading stories. Remember the 2014 debacle titled “A Rape on Campus”? That piece alleged a horrific gang rape at the University of Virginia, which turned out to be entirely fabricated. After retracting the story and issuing an apology, Rolling Stone and the university eventually settled a $3 million defamation lawsuit in 2017. So, it's safe to say that Rolling Stone has a track record of questionable journalism.

The lesson here? Be cautious when reading sensational stories, especially from outlets like Rolling Stone, which have been caught in multiple falsehoods in the past. If you were looking for a real story about the U.S. Open, here’s a suggestion: focus on the incredible tennis, not fake controversies.
