All media reported it, but it was an seriously effective hoax.
The success of the hoax depends on the military psycological operation approach used by the guys that made it and reported that all was only an experiment.
The reporter suggested to download and mirror several documents from US government explaining Psycological Operation military methodologies and tactics to modify the informations trough the media.
