The report on Sirius Black required a visit  to the Muggle Prime Minister 
and special cooperation. And, as far as we  know, it was only on the 
British Media. And it was reported in a way that  would make sense
to Muggles--so as not to let on that he was a  wizard.

Although Voldemort travels to other countries, he doesn't seem  to 
have any official pull there. He's just doing stuff on his own.  And
we don't ever see or hear about the Death Eater power extending  
beyond Britain. 

So, I think this scenario in which the Death  Eaters are sending
out false stories through the Media in which Hermione is  being 
tortured rather far-fetched. How would these stories be worded  to
make any sense to the Muggle public?



Robert:
They needn't be worded in any way at all. A staged video would do it. Plus  
a lot of lying. 
"Video surveillance recorded a young women, identified as Hermione Granger  
by a friend who watched helplessly,  as she was grabbed by two men and  
forced into a car as she and her friend left a doughnut shop." 
National news, possibly international. The Grangers' imaginations can do  
the rest given they know about the WW. 
The DE have Wormtail among their ranks - an experienced wizard when it  
comes to staging public spectacles.
