It is important to recognize that almost all of these misstatements originally come from press releases, mostly issued by agencies of government. Although reporters do sometimes insert misstatements on their own, the odds are this one came from the local cops, or also likely, from the FBI or other federal agency commenting on a case not really in their jurisdiction.

When one side floods the media with daily press releases and the other side doesn't, who do you think is going to get his side told? A good flack will tell you that it make take 1000 press releases per one story that gets published. If you are putting out any less don't expect to even get one story representing your side.

it also helps to schmooze with journalists. Develop personal relationships with them. It's not rational discourse. It's politics and connections. He who first makes most of the best connections wins.
