Take note that if these newspapers publish an erratum for a mistake they committed in reporting, you will see their erratum as a small box somewhere near the obituary page or mixed along with more eye-catching advertisements.
So it is these newspapers who are putting emphasis on such crap statistics like Pulse Asia. If you place such story somewhere else, who would care reading them? Why make it the screaming headline of the day if there was no motive from the editors behind it?
