Easy to understand: It's one reporter's opinion. :-)
If you've ever been fortunate enough to be mentioned in a newspaper story (like, say, a piece on your high school play), the blinders about the press begin to fall away. The reporters give their interpretation based on their research, how well they take notes, and their knowledge and biases. It's rare for them to be experts on their beat. Even if they try not to be swayed by bias, it doesn't mean that they accurately report things.
It's a crappy system for getting at facts and the truth, but it's the best we can do at the moment.
Cheers,
Scott.
