I don't have any light to shed on that particular datum. However, having been involved in a major media circus a few years ago, my experience was that approximately 50% of what appeared in print was in fact wrong. (Interestingly, The Economist, which is supposed to be one of the world's top publications, was the one that was absolutely the worst--the story would have been totally unrecognizable had it not been for the names.)
