Oh Barb!
You are so right!  
I first realized that reporters tended to 'color' their stories when 
I was in eighth grade (that would be, er, about 1974 or so,)when, on 
a school trip to the state house, we posed for a picture with the son 
of a famous politician, who also was in politics himself.  Well, when 
the picture was published in the local paper, the caption with the 
picture actually said things that were not true!!  NO, we did NOT 
have a guided tour of the State house by this man! And No, he did not 
greet us when we arrived. He just showed up for the photo-op!  How 
appalled I was, especially since we were all from a Catholic school!! 
Needless to say, it left a bad taste in my mouth, and for a 14 year 
old, it taught me a lesson or too about the "Real World" a little 
sooner than I would have.  
Oh well, I guess things haven't changed much in 29 years.
