The fact is what they wrote wasn't true.
I'm not saying all newspaper articles are bad. I'm just saying that you can't trust what you read in newspapers, any more then you can trust what you read in blogs because the newspapers wantt o sell and if things will go down better sensationalised or twisted in some way they will do just that.
I trust what I read in some blogs more then I trust what I read in some newspapers.
