Riskman - I wouldn't base an assessment as to authenticity purely on the standard of English used. It could be reporting from other sources, in which case it may be accurate but just poorly expressed.
Alternatively, it could just be the generally poor standards of English in use these days, and that includes amongst senior officers and executives. Quite frankly, I have seen reports written by senior officers in various HQs that look like they were written by my neighbour's 8 year old son in terms of syntax and grammar.
