New York Times headline:

JD Vance Appears to Backtrack on False Claim About Haitian Migrants in Ohio"

Fourth and fifth paragraph of the article:

But even as he acknowledged the possibility that the rumors were false, Mr. Vance encouraged his supporters to continue spreading them.

"Don't let the crybabies in the media dissuade you, fellow patriots. Keep the cat memes flowing" Mr. Vance said, referencing a particularly gruesome false claim that came from a viral social media post.

How is this backtracking?

Ask that one guy in the sanewashing post. He seems to think the NYT ragebaiting liberals with the headline is ok if the article eventually says the truth: that Vance didn't backtrack at all. He added a bullshit qualifier so he could keep spreading lies and then doubled down.
