At best it’s being unnecessarily deceptive.  

Considering they got at least one fact wrong and missed by several days, and got called out by the WH….it’s looking like lying to me…

If your boss asks you if your team will  have finished the PowerPoint by the meeting, and you ask them and they say we are close, so you check with others involved and they all say it is almost done and you report back that the team will have a PowerPoint at the next meeting...is that a lie?  You reported back what you were told by multiple sources.

If he asks, before the meeting, to see it and finds out it is not 100% finished yet did you lie?  

A lie would be reporting the election was stolen because of the manufacturers of the voting machines when you know for a fact that is not true at all but you keep repeating it.

Not all reporting will be 100% correct, even with the best sources.

I agree there is a rush to "be first", that has been going on for decades now, but the fact that they are getting to ready to vote on the deal a few days later does not make this a lie.
