Yeah. It's not as severe as the article makes it seem. It's just a bypass in a very insignificant component for which you need 2-3 other vulns to exploit.

I presume the editor just wanted to put an article out with Microsoft and Project Zero in the title, rather than analyze the actual flaw in the context of its severity.

The press had many problems, but this isn't close to a lie. Sensationalistic? Maybe. But to accuse the journalist of lying is claiming that the article is (1) false, and (2) that the journalist knows it's false. They're big claims, not to be made as throwaway snark. A functioning (and honest) press matters, and this does it and ourselves no benefit.
