Unlike Jezebel and Mother Jones which are Ultra Leftwing bottom of the barrel websites sites the Daily Beast is one of the most respectable Leftist sites on the net that a credible source fro information. They just got a little lazy this week and went with some garbage Jezebel put out on Scott Walker.

Politico reports another major media outlet has apologized after getting a story about Scott Walker wrong. Last week, it was the New York Times; now, it’s The Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast has retracted an article from one of its college columnists that claimed that the Wisconsin governor’s budget would cut sexual assault reporting from the state’s universities.

The post, published Friday, cited a report from Jezebel that wrongly interpreted a section of the state budget to mean that all assault reporting requirements were to get cut altogether.

In fact, the University of Wisconsin system requested the deletion of the requirements to get rid of redundancy, as it already provides similar information to the federal government, UW System spokesman Alex Hummel told The Associated Press on Friday.
