It usually a journalism technique when they exaggerate something without legitimate well researched data

Though i hate to say this, American Journalism currently doing it to Putin. Headlines like "Putin has a 200 billion net worth fortune" from one of biggest newspaper in our country is an exaggeration without enough factual data
