Should We Join the Huge Internet Retraction/Apology?

Should we add Band of Fathers to the list of sites that are actually retracting a story? I’m not so sure if “responsible journalism” has a place online (hell, it doesn’t seem to in the mainstream media anymore).

Gizmodo led the charge with their long, drawn-out apology regarding the original story about the Lady Pushing Stroller On Her Segway and how she dared be so lazy/irresponsible.

Why are they apologizing? The gal in question is a cancer survivor with limited walking ability..that’s why she uses the Segway to get around. Don’t we all feel bad now?

I don’t know, I still think it’s crazy to push a stroller when you’re astride another moving object. About as smart as the game of Polo.
