You're hitting the nail on the head there.

Not just your mother... and yes, there certainly are a lot of people like that

That's less helping and more setting the record straight.

Yes, it's not that much of helping out. Hadn't he known the journalist, and hadn't the journalist apologised publicly that he wrote garbage, nothing would've come from it - the father would've never known of it, as he most likely wouldn't have looked into it much.
