I'm sorry that I implied that as a whole the article was a fraud.

I did not dismiss the PM, rather the information the reporter put out was inaccurate, or was fiction.

I'm glad the PM visited, but I'm disturbed that the author could not get basic Military facts correct. And, I find that anything she will report and has reported is not accurate.

You didn't "imply" it, you stated flat out "the article is a fraud". That statement is semantically equivalent to stating "the article is a lie".

If you had just said this there'd be no problem with your statement. However, your use of the word "fraud" was simply incorrect in both a definitional and in a contextual sense. I notice you're in Indonesia, so perhaps English is not your native language. If so, this makes your mistake more understandable. "Fraud" is one of those loaded words that carries much more serious implications and consequences than merely being mistaken, however. Please try to use it more carefully.
