Meh, this kind of disparity happens in papers all over the world when covering the same story. You should have read the papers right after 9/11, not a single paper had the story even remotely accurate. It can take up to a week for some papers to get the story right. There's a reason people hold press conferences, so they can hand out the right information already written. If you actually leave story telling up to the reporters, you wind up with mistakes in the story.

I think the most important thing here is that the sponsor will be charged.
