I'm not advocating blacklisting news agencies, but I would strongly suggest everyone take a critical look at their own sources of news, and then at everything they report.

I told a joke at work a few years back, "hey did you hear Betty White dyed?" The obvious joke is she "dyed" as in changed her hair color, but it sounds like "died". Someone overheard me and it wasn't long before I heard people mourning one of their favorite celebrities.

News agencies are exactly like that.
