The Feeding Frenzy on Osama Bin Laden's Death

A couple nights ago, Presient Obama broke into prime time TV to announce that Osama Bin Laden had been killed in a raid. The news outlets have been going crazy ever since. Indeed, this morning, every five minutes, if I "refresh" my Google News main page, there's a new article on Bin Laden out there.

This is a pain...because five minutes ago I could swear I saw an article that said, "US Changes story on how Bin Laden was killed." I was busy reporting space news and so didn't read the story. I have come back to the page, and the article is gone. Not just way down the page...gone entirely.

I wonder why?
