Two articles about an interesting topic are on CNN and Fox today.
The Fox version is here:

The CNN version is here:

What's interesting is the differences in the articles. CNN leads off with how a recent outbreak of pregnancies has prompted this action. CNNs article also mentions how there were 17 pregnancies in the regions 3 middle schools in the last 4 years. This information is not presented at all in the Fox version.
Fox states that the vote was 5-2, CNN states that it was 7-2. My money is on CNN as a couple of local Portland papers also report 7-2.
Fox has sentence or two describing the reasons behind the 2 'no' votes, though they incorrectly spell John Coynes last name (CNN did not). CNN also mentions the two 'no' votes, but adds a couple of sentences for one of the committee members who voted 'yes'.
Both also have for and against quotes from others: CNN has two opinions against and one for. Fox has the same and the quotes are more detailed, but also a bit more dramatic.
I initially read about this in one of my local news sources, and then I looked at this one (which seems to be the most informative):

I then saw the same headline later in the day when on the Fox and CNN news sites, and read both of them. I caught the lack of comment about the pregnancies right off, but only realised the Fox errors after a detailed read of both.
Check yer sources - especially if you are quoting Fox!
