I think a fake story was put in the paper so as to not spoil the season 2 storyline.
That’s the most likely explanation but I like to think that perhaps the paper was referring to another event we haven’t seen yet. Especially since Sidney knew in episode 2 of season one that “She had Henry in Phoenix” and the paper refers to Emma’s visit to Worcester, MA in 1996. Maybe we have yet to learn that someone was already manipulating events in her life when she was 16 (Peter Pan, maybe?)
