At the time (up until 18 hours ago), no.

All things considered, though, the tabloid actually did a decent job of reporting on the story and not sensationalizing it.

If the markers on my search engine are telling me the truth, after I posted this Raw Story picked it up 16 hours ago.

TIME picked it up 3 hours ago.
