People can say pretty much anything they want to: it was suicide; Miley Cyrus is dead; Sarah Palin fought federal earmark spending. It is a reporter's job to be sure the information that makes it into the news is sound information. (It's not clear; she's not dead; not very hard, she didn't)
Be exacting about the information you use. It should be accurate. It should be attributed to a named source. It should be true to the context in which you are using it.
