Not necessarily - you've been in newsrooms, you know how things can snowball, and all it takes is an overzealous reporter or editor to take a story too far, or beyond it's factual (and/or reasonable) boundaries.
We'd like to think the media always does the responsible thing, but that's just not true. Just as it's not always the media's fault when something happens, some outlets are not without imperfections and problems.
