People in the 'Verse will want to know the truth now, not 9 months late.
No they wouldn't. The Alliance would put out some fake report they slapped together in about a month and everyone would buy it hook line and sinker except for the lunatic fringe groups and people on the rim who would be concerned but not want to risk their lives to check it out. That's how it works in real life too.
Maybe the open minded news pundit person in the comic is the core's future lady version of Alex Jones. Who wouldn't do any actual research.

Remember Kaylee built drones to mislead the Operative in Serenity?
Those weren't drones, they were mostly empty coffee cans they sealed transponders into that they dumped in orbit so they would send off fake signals.
And even if the Alliance let any news agency get away with that, reavers would still shoot down any drones.
Future Fox News would be less than interested in giving the public of the core the real story. All news NOWADAYS is pretty much manufactured to for exactly the spin the powers that be want, it'll be worse in the future. News would probably be pretty much made up on the spot by then.

Finally got my hands on it and all I can say is,
PFAHAHAHAHAH
That was PERFECT bullshit manufactured talking heads government coverup news!
They got aspects of the Snowden case and the "THEY'RE CRIMINALS HANG 'EM" reactions, and references to various real life conspiracy theories like Benghazi and Chemtrails! And then they have the guy getting all sweaty as he rants... Oh man.
Knew exactly how it would be, and it's just as I predicted, every bit of it. Alliance coming out hard with lots of conflicting attitudes about it, it's fake, it's a hoax, but they're still criminals and TERRORISTS even though the information is all fake... Riots on the Rim, not in the core, because only the rim would feel renewed anti-Alliance sentiment... No one knows who Mal is except the alliance and anyone who'd bother to hack some computers to find out... Beautiful.
I tip my hat to the Whedons.

Most of these were performed or funded by the US government. Just so you know. Much of Firefly and Serenity is intended to be a wakeup call to American citizens about exactly the kind of shady junk the US government gets up to that the conspiracy theorists barely TOUCH on. The people at the academy are referred to as "government researchers" a number of times. Miranda and River's sleeper agent conditioning are all references to actual government projects, as is the whole psychic super soldier concept.
Governments only pretend to answer to anyone. Really, they only answer the call of their own ambition.
But, I will agree that Blue Sun Corporation has their fingerprints all over Miranda as well.
That would be why Blue Sun released a couple of contractors to try to recover what they considered company property, and why the Alliance released an Operative of Parliament to silence all witnesses when that failed.
Both the Alliance and Blue Sun were probably responsible. It is potentially suggested that the interests of the Alliance and the Blue Sun monopoly intersect - to the point where they might even be the same entity, or perhaps two sides of the same coin. And yes, they control the newsmedia and the response to the newsmedia absolutely, both those who disbelieve the official story and those who believe it. Propaganda, Corporatocracy, Authoritarianism, and Fascism, if you will, with a lovely side dish of Imperialism to complement the delectable flavour of pure evil.
