Instead of the original story being completely (or mostly) erased, Politifact VA reposted it with more material towards the bottom and a correction at the top that revealed their supposedly grave error was
“fail[ing] to reach out to the McAuliffe campaign” and include 2019 and 2020 comments Youngkin made about Virginia’s economy.
It added:
“This goes against our reporting standards, which require us to contact political campaigns that we write about. We’ve corrected that omission in this report and apologize for the error.”
From there, fact-checker Warren Fiske’s original story continued before keeping the conclusion at the bottom but adding Youngkin’s 2019 comments about Virginia Tech’s planned Arlington hub and a 2020 interview with McKinsey.
