New Zealand company Rocket Lab has unveiled at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs its different method of getting fuel into a small rocket engine, but reporters with the usual lack of understanding say Rocket Lab have unveiled the world's first battery-powered rocket engine.
Yeah, right! Just load in some AA batteries and you're off into space.

It's hardly any different to the report back about 16 July 1969 that said, when describing what would happen during the Apollo 11 mission, "Two of the astronauts — Apollo-XI commander Neil A. Armstrong and lunar module pilot Edwin E. Aldrin — crawl through a tunnel into the lunar module, detach it from the main craft and descend with it to the moon..."
No they wouldn't and didn't. Some reporter had to dolly-up whatever it was that NASA handed out, and got it wrong. Being in zero G, Armstrong and Aldrin floated through the tunnel.

I forget where, but I recall reading about the LM with its "thundering rocket engine descending to the craggy surface in a billowing cloud of dust." ::)
I also remember a major American newscaster reporting on the Voyager probe's images of "Jupiter's moon 10."
