The press, on the other hand, hyped up what the press release actually said and turned it into something else.

What he said was that the proposed supernova could possibly damage the earth's atmosphere (he was wrong because he used the numbers for a GRB, a much larger explosion). What was reported was that it would 'wipe out life on earth', which is an entirely different thing.

Even if a very near star goes supernova (such as Betelgeuse, at 300 light years) it would not cause the kind of problems that was reported.

The Telegraph and the Sun are two of the worst for printing crap. They are just one step above the National Enquirer. This star is 3000 light years away, so it would be no danger to us if it goes supernova. It would have to be within 25 light years of us to put us in any danger.
