Don't expect any blatant honesty out of traditional media just yet, they are too busy focusing on the positive (or are totally clueless)
Edit: 5/9 data shows temperature still climbing
Edit 2: I need to obtain official information on the 300C limit as stated in this post header. Until such time, consider that figure unconfirmed.
I don't know if you would count this as proof but more than one major news outlet was reporting 302/C as a design limit back at the end of March.

Thanks for your comment. Been spending alot of time poking around the net for that figure. I was positive i had come across that 300C value from a reputable source somewhere, but never saved the link.
