Lizzie Cundy has always been desperate to stay in the papers and to maintain good relationships with editors, etc.

She wouldn't say anything bad about the press because she relies on building rapport with journalists in order to even stay relevant enough for an appearance on Jeremy Vine or GMB.

I would take what Cundy says with a grain of salt. She never seems to know what she's talking about and this instance is no exception.
