Media reporting on anything involving 4chan has always been terrible. I remember a story about, I think, Emma Watson that turned out to be literally fake news - as in, it came from an already documented fake news site run by a known serial hoaxer, was laundered into legitimacy by increasingly reputable publications, and eventually ended up being reported as true everywhere including places like the BBC.
