<where did that nonsense about the 1950'come from and how can the reporter print it and not mention that it was a quote but the info in the quote was nonsense.>
Reporters are generally interested in controversy and are happy to report any controversial statement ... regardless of its accuracy ... so long as the statement is a quote. (They can always attribute the statement to someone else if its accuracy is questioned.) A very good reporter once told me, "The press will sell ammunition to both sides and then report on the war."
