And I do believe they used words like "suspected the source of contamination was..." as they tried to pin down the causes.
But sure, blame the messenger.

The messengers, indoctrinators, manure spreaders did not responsibly report an accurate and CAREFUL warning with specifics of what food and where danger is suspected. It turned out that tomatoes were not even the problem! The FDA didn't tell them to spread false fears, but they did.
The media used dramatic and hype-oriented tactics to make the gullible think every tomato in America was contaminated which is insane. Most of the media is no longer accurate, responsible, careful, informative. Now they are more attuned to getting ratings, and they don't care who they hurt to get them. Follow the money!

Reporters just relay what they are told and are happy to have a job. ....

Journalism is definitely not what it once was.
