Could this be an attempt to switch the story from "how the police screwed up" to "how the media reported the story"?

Yeah, that's it. It was all misreported.

hmm. I sort of see what you mean, but think it unlikely. I feel the plod come out worse from it than the perceived benefit to govt of getting a reaction of "the media are useless, see can't believe what you read in the papers". More likely someone fancied a quick buck - sometimes the simple explanations are right..
