All I know is this retraction will not count in the bureaucracy/mass. What is recorded is what is recorded. University studies and policy making will be based on the first statements.
A simple retraction by her is irrelevant. The media should retract the whole thing, but they will not. How convenient. In fact they should have waited before publishing this crap.
It's a catch22 double trap game:
The dupes get justified
The nondupes are told to appologize.
End of story of the operation: the nondupes are discredited and the dupes can still go on not appologizing.
This is a perfect leftwing orchestration anyway you put it.
