You know better than this. C'mon. This was not a gov't issued press release that got picked up by a news organization. They fabricated propaganda to seem like an independant news story done by a reporter so it would get aired by sloppy or friendly news stations. They were trying to fool you to make you believe it was real news. How much clearer can this be for what it is.
