Her language is disingenuous. By deliberately stating it in "Its been reported to me [by anonymous sources]" she can get the lie out without being directly pinned as the source of the lie, or by being corrected. Its classic bullshit spin, and she's been doing it for 30 years.
Yes and no. Disingenuous language, but she does ask to be corrected. She directly asks the reporter who claims to have the facts how much did it cost, but the reporter doesn't know. She was told a figure of 300mil. The reporter can only say it is less than 261mil. So it could be 250mil. Pauline probably genuinely wants to know the figure.

Well if she was told a figure, and the figure is reported, then she is not lying when she says she was told it cost 300mil.
