No, he can't. I've listened to the retraction episode and Glass said that he made it clear to Daisy in conversation and via email that they were fact checking the entire piece and wanted to vet it for accuracy and Daisey said he understood that.
In fact, in the first Daisey interview in this week's episode, he says that he mostly feared that if he made it plain that there were parts that he fabricated (not his word, but mine) then it would undermine the work and it was something he feared. Then he lied to Glass and his fact checkers about the availability and name of his Chinese interpreter.
