I don't see anything wrong with journalists addressing a claim, investigating it and declaring in their opinions that it's probably not true. What, specifically, is wrong with that? The fact that you posted the image without referencing the article that claims it's probably a hoax makes me think you were intentionally trying to mislead people.
