>>You're absolutely right, so what was the point of the article?

It is a non-denial denial masquerading as an apology. The Clintonistas are famous for it. "I did not have a 12 year affair with Gennifer Flowers". No, it was 11 years, 11 months. The trooper story was incredible. Was it false? No.

I'm sure that most (vulgus) now actually believe that Brock has said that his original story was untrue.

The WH certainly wanted to convey that wrong-headed impression when they stated:

The White House welcomed Brock's apology as "an
interesting correction of the record."


That would be an even more interesting non-correction correction. A new term for me. Ah, while the expansion of their perfidy knows no bounds, the mainstream press applauds his conversion and the cynical motivation behind it:

"Brock's political transformation may also help his career.
Once dismissed as a fringe writer with a right-wing agenda,
he is working hard to win newfound respectability as a
mainstream journalist."
