One of two things is the case:

  1. The numbers are in the paper, and the person who wrote the article could have transcribed them but is too lazy.

  2. The numbers are not in the paper, in which case I would class the article as inflammatory and irresponsible.

Do I trust the journalist? Not in the sense you mean, but I expect them to act responsibly and make a minimum effort.
