If one wants to then say it doesn't even stand for Manhattan because there was not a survey of all prostitutes, one would have to discard pretty much every national survey result and medical study under the same reasoning.
That would be a good idea. But see Peter Norvig (director of research at Google) for what else would be desirable in most research studies:
One could say with more precision, 25% of hooker hookups in Manhattan come from Facebook and there is just cause for that, it's not a fabricated headline.
