The press had many problems, but this isn't close to a lie. Sensationalistic? Maybe. But to accuse the journalist of lying is claiming that the article is (1) false, and (2) that the journalist knows it's false. They're big claims, not to be made as throwaway snark. A functioning (and honest) press matters, and this does it and ourselves no benefit.
