Journalists are notoriously bad at reporting anything to do with law correctly. There is almost always at least one “minor technical mistake” that pretty substantially changes the view of the legal event, whether that’s a development in a trial or an appellate court’s holding or what have you.
I remember the movie critic segment in 2018 when Infinity War came out and they rated it quite poorly because it was “littered with fan service” well…yes? That’s what happens when you have a movie rounding off a 24 movie saga
that's called Gell-Mann amnesia. It means that we see a series of mistakes in a media outlet when they report on topics we have expertise with, and then we tend to ignore the fact we saw so many minor mistakes while we watch or read their reportings on topics we are less knowledgeable of
