Daily Beast retracts story on Scott Walker

Daily Beast retracts story on Scott Walker (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/daily-beast-retracts-scott-walker-story-115618.html)
We had a thread on the DB article here. I commented in it that I suspected the article was b.s.

Daily Beast retracts their story. The NYTs had retracted an earlier b.s. story about Scott Walker the week prior.

What we are seeing is what we typically see. The MSM and dems, sorry I repeat myself, will make up accusations and even criminal charges only with the purpose of hurting a rising GOP star politically.

That is what American politics and "journalism" has become. Pitiful.


Another major media outlet has apologized after getting a story about Scott Walker wrong. Last week, it was the New York (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/scott-walker-correction-new-york-times-115229.html)Times (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/scott-walker-correction-new-york-times-115229.html); now, it’s The Daily Beast.


The Daily Beast has retracted an article (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/02/27/walker-s-ag-and-undergrads-hate-his-sex-assault-cut-the-2016-hopeful-just-made-a-bunch-of-enemies.html) from one of its college columnists that claimed that the Wisconsin governor’s budget would cut sexual assault reporting from the state’s universities.



***


“A Daily Beast college columnist at the University of Wisconsin based this article off a Jezebel posting which was incorrectly reported. Jezebel updated their post on Saturday with the following after USA Today [sic] published a story debunking Jezebel’s account and clarifying Gov. Scott Walker’s position. ‘UPDATE: After Jezebel ran this item yesterday, a spokesman for the University of Wisconsin came forward—over two weeks after the budget was released—to clarify: the University requested that Gov. Walker delete the requirements because efforts were redundant with their compliance of the Cleary Act. Scott Walker’s camp assures that he’s committed to protecting victims.’

I'm shocked that Walker got retractions.

[metheron]

Retractions shouldn't be enough in these cases. Someone should be held accountable.

Some dipsy lib chick at the university?

She will probably get hired by NBC.

[hanger4]

Retractions shouldn't be enough in these cases. Someone should be held accountable.

Agreed. Hell I bet I can name several posters here that will continue to bash Walker with this lie dispite the retractions.

[hanger4]

From the OP;

"In fact, the University of Wisconsin system requested the deletion of the requirements to get rid of redundancy."

This was even pointed out by a poster and was ignored. Blind partisanship corrupts absolutely.

[zelmo1234]

If you think about it What are the liberals going to run on in 2016?

They have to destroy politics

I am watching met the Press and the left is absolutely running cover and basically lying about the current funding issue!

The best way to get this out of the system is allow people to sue for liable and get these hacks on both sides off the air!

[nathanbforrest45]

Retractions don't have much effect. There is the old adage about throwing a bag of feathers into the wind. Now, go and collect all the feathers. Its impossible. The original store is on the internet now, it will never go away and the retraction will be completely ignored. Trust me, this will surface again before the 2016 elections.

You'll NEVER for a RePug to Retract anything, their MO is to Double Down on Stupidity.

All you need to history to prove that.

Journalism is dead.

[PolWatch]

Journalism is dead.

RIP: journalism -- 24/7 news stations with hours to fill with anything to produce revenue, organizations that use the label 'news' to sell a political agenda, people who offer opinion as fact, news readers who spend more time on their make-up & padding their resumes....surprise, surprise, surprise.

Journalism is virtually 100% consumer driven also, you can't blame this death on the industry IMO.

I don't disagree that its consumer driven, but when an industry chooses profit over integrity you sure can blame them. You can understand their choice, but it is a choice.

If the best and brightest attend our universities, and that is arguable, the dumbest and the laziest of the best and brightest become journalists.

It's the NYTimes and DailyBeast doing the retracting, both of which are decidedly left of center.

Ya know Cigar when you post or thread without the help or instruction from your handlers you don't make a lick of sense.

Because it was his wife telling him what to post

[hanger4]

Not at all Cigar Just tryin' to understand your inane post about rethugs not being news when nobody said a word about rethugs. The threads about a news source retracting an untrue Gov. Walker smear piece.

[Bob]

Agreed. Hell I bet I can name several posters here that will continue to bash Walker with this lie dispite the retractions.

Yes, I am certain of it. They spread lies like this all over the country. It's the standard ploy.

Like how they attacked Mitt Romney in the last POTUS election.

[Redrose]

Some schmucks will still believe the original story, even thought it was retracted. They are more comfortable with their narrow little view.

I was also a John McCain and Mitt Romney cheerleader, just like you were :laugh: ... becaue I know you were not an Obama fan, and knowing how patriotic you are, I'm sure you Voted in both Presidential Elections.

[Mac-7]

I was also a John McCain and Mitt Romney cheerleader, just like you were :laugh: ...

Neither of them were my preferred candidate but Scott Walker might be.

[Cigar]

They were your only choice ... :laugh: ... who did you preferr, a someone more nuttyer

[Peter1469]

Can't get much nuttier than that harpy.

[Mac-7]

After the primary they were.

But maybe it will work out better this time if libs are going to help me get the candidate that I like.

[hanger4]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Scott Walker cheerleader, I hope he's the GOP Presidential Candidate :laugh:
Of course you are Cigar and every smear piece you/left have posted has been no more than lying by omission, out right lies or statements out of context. BTW the schmucks Redrose was refering to are people like you that subscribe to the Gobbels propaganda narrative, tell a lie loud enough and long enough and it becomes the truth.

I agree that the flurry of anti-Walker threads is typical of dirty politics. Where is the same outrage over those who post about Hillarybeast and other derogatory remarks that have nothing to do with policies or platforms? If one candidate deserves honest reporting, don't they all? Those who participate in mud-slinging against one they dislike shouldn't be outraged when it happens to someone they like.

[Cigar]

Like Hillary?
Can't get much nuttier than that harpy.

I'm not a Hillary fan ... but did you watch the Clown show last week?

Really Dude ... are you cheering for any of those morons ... really?

[hanger4]

Excuse me, there's a David Kock on the line waiting to speek to you. :laugh:
And that ringing in your ear is Steyer and Bloomberg saying "shhhhh Cigar we gave near 10 times as much. Don't mention us."

The difference is that our side does not have to lie about Hillary but your side does have to lie about Walker.

[PolWatch]

You seemed to miss the point of the post...again.

I'm not talking about the derogatory remarks that have nothing to do with policies and you know it PolWatch Derogatory remarks are from those with small minds and no arguments.

They all seem pretty nutty to me.

[texan]

Oh yes Hillary is really sharp, she helped shape Obama's foreign policy.

“Mrs. Clinton, name an accomplishment. And in the meantime, please explain why we should accept that the millions and millions of dollars that have flowed into the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments don’t represent a conflict of interest. She tweets about women’s rights in this country and takes money from governments that deny women the most basic human rights. She tweets about equal pay for women but won’t answer basic questions about her own offices’ pay standards — and neither will our President. Hillary likes hashtags. But she doesn’t know what leadership means.”
