It seems to happen a lot among the networks as they try to make more out of the story than actually is know at the time, but then they repeat it over during the 3 hour extended coverage.
The ratings of a network covering a big breaking event can be astronomical — accuracy is the furthest thing from their minds. Listen carefully how much is conjecture; I dare say about 95%. Much of the rest is rumor.
