Many 'media outlets' are under government control, so it is prudent NOT to believe all you are told.
The only way to be sure of accessing the truth is by a worldwide search for news, and if a news item appears in 2 different countries, the chances are it is true.
I have seen some items reported, and when I have returned for a 2nd look, the item has been removed.
