aren't always known for reporting a story in an even-handed, factual manner....

Remember it was an Indian news site (with no reporter byline) in 2010 who screamed that Obama's trip was going to cost $200 million PER DAY...And that bullshit got around the world and the Fox news cycle hundreds of times before that story was debunked...
