But the Daily Prophet on other occasions has been shown to
be somewhat...um...lax in good jounalistic practices.

IIRC when the reported on the 4 champions they may have misspelled
a name and I think they forgot to list Cedric at all.  At any rate
this wasn't the only time some detail of what was going on
was obviously not quite accurate.

My take is that while it is a popular newspaper it certainly
has more of a tabloid feel to it than a major well-respected
newspaper feel to it.  

I don't know if you can base too much on what they mis-spell
mis-quote or sensationalize.
