They were basing their stories on the information they had available to them. When more information became available they retracted their stories. That's a standard thing in journalism.

They deleted their stories, they didn't retract them or admit they were wrong.

B- if they had the full and only reported what they saw, even if they didn't report all of it, there's 0 case.
C- if they had the full, reported with intent to distort facts and are willing to say they distorted facts intentionally then there's a case.

As you and I and many others watch the same 2 hour video and have different t opinions, the likelihood of an option C is negligible. Unless there's some evidence, like someone has an email where they outline C .

They reported that the main child was harassing the elder, which it's clear that he was just standing there with a drum being beaten in his face.  Them reporting that the child was harassing the elder is what caused all of the threats and hate directed towards the kid, so there's a case there.
