... my question is: is this Rolling Stone consciously taking one for the team?

Publish an obviously bullshit story
Watch media colleagues run with a story compliant to their biases without any checking whatsoever
Pull the story because it's bullshit
The other stories stay up
Citogenesis complete.

That is the propaganda system they are running today. This is how it works:

Rolling stone publishes a lie.

Other media outlets report on the story

Wikipedia makes a post about the fake numbers

Someone actually proves the story false

Rolling stone updates or retracts, but the other media do not

Rinse and repeat
