Typical lazy reporters, actually. To be fair, their editors give them tight deadlines so it is difficult for them to research. But also, they are lazy: make up some shit and say "some are saying blablabla" is easier than doing any work, even as minimal as an internet search.
Hell, all of what we call news reports is just filler to go around the ads anyway. The business of a media is not to sell accurate news to the readership, it's to sell the readership to the advertisers.
