Talking 'bout Bako

It’s interesting how different news agencies portray things that happen in Bakersfield.
The local news titled their articles about the recent accident on Maple Street that killed two children like this*…
KGET – “Military explosive suspected in deadly explosion”
Bakersfield.com – “Two children killed, six others injured in yard explosion”

The out of town news agencies titled their articles like this*…
CNN – “Man gives kids 40 mm shell to play with; 2 killed, 5 hurt”
NBC San Diego– “Neighbor Gave Kids Military Shell That Killed Them”

How do you explain the difference?

(*this is just a sample of the article titles I found.)
