Yeah, they're giving this story a lot more media legs than it would have if they did a mea culpa on it. The story itself shouldn't be a big issue, but now the story is quickly becoming their unwillingness to admit any wrongdoing here in the face of irrefutable evidence, which is a 'narrative-fitting' news story.
