I don't think it does. Defamation is a crime and isn't what Rolling Stone did by publishing this story in that category?

Regarding Freedom of Speech:

" other limitations on free speech balance rights to free speech and other rights, such as rights for authors over their works (copyright), protection from imminent or potential violence against particular persons (restrictions on fighting words), or the use of untruths to harm others (slander). "

I'm sure these are valid limitations of freedom of speech just like spying on everyone's metadata is a valid violation of the fourth amendment. Just because the government set up laws to empower the establishment doesn't mean thay are constitutional.

I don't think anyone would be happy with their name/reputation being widely dragged through the mud in a major publication under false claims/lies. It violates the Presumption of Innocence, which is a everyone's right.
