That is not misleading, it is a downright and utter lie. It is untrue, but calling it a lie implies it was deliberate and it wouldn't have been, on the part of the journalist. Of course, before the introduction of the access charge, it could have been true for some BT subscribers but that's as close as it gets. Semantics, an untruth is a lie, if we use your take re the journalist then it is sloppy research/journalism at best. Talking about history,(which there is no need to), re BT, 0844 numbers never have been, (and still aren't), charged at the same rate as 01/02/03 and have never been included in packages/bundles, ergo could never have been "charged an amount similar to dialling a local number ", also no mention in the article about BT, so mostly supposition on your part. .
