Of course it's poor journalism. You should never print something you have no evidence for, and if the source is quite clearly unreliable (The Examiner is just a blog site anyone can post on, hence the fakes). Using it just because everyone else did doesn't excuse the shoddy effort.
Gaga denied it on LM, so her fans know it isn't true. If her team made an official statement to the media it would give unnecessary attention to it and there'd be no guarantee people would believe them. It, essentially, could be counterproductive.
