Same Story, 3 Headlines

Look at the way 3 of the major media outlets covered the Auditor's report of campaign use by the offices of Richard Moore and Bev Perdue:

N&O:  "Perdue, Moore used offices for campaigns"
Charlotte Observer:  "Auditor finds against Perdue, Moore"
WRAL.com: "Moore rips audit critical of computer use"

Interesting that N&O and Charlotte articles are the same text, same byline, except with different headlines.  The N&O gives top billing on its website to the article with pictures of both candidates.  WRAL, conversely,  gives Richard Moore front billing with a picture of just him and the fact that he finds the report flawed.  Favoritism by WRAL editors?  I think so.
