Potential, yes. But the most severe noise is generally radiated from wiring connected to the source, and that wiring is most effective as an antenna when it is a significant fraction of a wavelength.

Most of the press, even the best of them, are pretty ignorant of anything approaching science outside the world of medicine and climate. They would be quite unlikely to know, for example, if the interference was to systems operating in the same spectrum, and that the interference might have been the result of poor immunity in the victim.
