Sadly the point of this story is that there was no story to begin with. Or a the very least not all too much factual story. Much like ACORN, PBS, NPR and Planned Parenthood.

However, as in those cases, damage has been done to the target: Delta. And will continue for the time being as people will remember or hear about the original story much more than the follow-up fact-checks.

Why in the world would you post it in a way that caused the same confusion. Your post and run style is strange.

Not really, in most of those cases you mentioned there were employees behaving badly and it was caught on video/audio and then exposed(not sure what happened with PP or why you brought them up).
