I've been following CNN's coverage of the FLDS case, and discussing the 
general question on my blog. It's lowered my opinion of their 
reliability considerably. 

A week after the London Times published a story giving the very solid 
evidence that the initial phone call was by a 33 year old Colorado woman 
with no connection to the FLDS outside of her own imagination and a past 
conviction for bogus phone calls, CNN was still putting it in terms of 
the 16 year old caller not having been found and merely mentioning the 
possibility that it might have been a fraud. Eventually they had a story 
with most of the evidence--but to get to it you had to follow a link in 
a sidebar, and the top level stories were still written as though the 
authenticity of the call was still an open question.

Today they did note that the Texas authorities have cancelled the 
warrant for the arrest of the supposed 50 year old husband of the 
supposed teen caller, but while they did mention some of the evidence on 
who really made the call, they still write: " Authorities have not 
located the 16-year-old girl and are investigating the source of the 
call."
