> why do you blame the tabloid?

Because a common tabloid tactic is posting technically true statements in a misleading manner.

For example, the woman's statement could apply to having introduced her medical records into the court transcripts, which would be entirely normal practice. The wording in the article leaves us thinking they uploaded her records and driver's license in a Yelp reply or something, but I think that's unlikely.

It's the responsibility of the journalist to ask follow-up questions that are necessary to resolve these kinds of ambiguity.
