Huffpo retracts erroneous claim attacking McDonald’s wage practices

The Huffington Post ended up with an egg McGriddle on it’s face after having to retract an erroneous claim that McDonald’s could double its wages if it simply raised its food prices by 17%:
The story drew on data presented by Arnobio Morelix, an undergraduate student from The University Of Kansas who identified himself as a researcher for the school. In an interview, Morelix told the HuffPost that only 17.1 percent of McDonald’s revenue goes toward salaries and benefits, meaning that for every dollar McDonald’s earns, a little more than 17 cents goes toward the income and benefits of its employees.
However, as the Columbia Journalism Review subsequentlynoted,Morelix’s analysis only takes into account the payroll and employee benefits of McDonald’s company-operated stores while excluding franchise businesses. Prior to publication, HuffPost asked Morelix if his analysis included franchises and he said it did. He later conceded it did not. McDonald’s franchises make upmore than 80 percent of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide. This means that a majority of the payroll and employee benefits of McDonald’s workers are not included in Morelix’s findings.
The story has been widely cited at a time when employees are walking off their jobs and demanding$15 an hour pay at fast food restaurants.
Twitchy reported an earlier correction Huffington Post issuedabout the article – let’s just call it a preliminary correction – when the left-leaning website admitted that the unpublished McDonald’s study was authored by an undergraduate student, not a researcher as had been reported initially.
The bogus article was cited uncritically by many on Twitter and in the MSM by then, but it also received pushback from some of those pesky just a blogger types:

A Big Mac miss by the Huffington Post
Poor reporting on a study by a Kansas undergrad- Ryan Chittum (@ryanchittum) July 31, 2013
At least Huffpo issued a retraction. Not all news outlets and bloggers have done so. As of this publishing, Think Progress posted various updates but still has the erroneous statistic up as a headline.
Just the kind of journalistic integrity we’ve come to expect from the Left.

Movie magic isn’t all smoke and mirrors. Swordsmith and propmaster Tony Swatton has been forging weapons and armor for Hollywood costume departments for over thirty years.
Franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and Blade are notches on his professional belt. But Game of Throne, with its long history of named Valyrian steel swords, is new kind of challenge.
This behind-the-scenes look shows off how cool it is to create Jaime Lannister’s sword, though they do not mention if it’s his everyday one or the Valyrian Oathkeeper.
