Dan Rather stood by his whilst being shown the door because it had be
discredited. NBC stood by the exploding gas tanks in the trucks report
whilst it was being shown they (sorta like in this case) were using a
non-Ford part.. AKA model rocket engines.. to make their point. It
remains not a fact because as he mentioned:

I also thought that "admitted" was a rather interesting choice of
words in this case. Sounds like M&E said it was their fault. M&E may
have said or suggested, but hardly admitted.
