I guess they need 24h to decide how to spin the story? How can news be paused, it's more like journalism at that point.

This is absolutely it. I don't know where it is but there was an image floating around of British news headlines reporting on non-Europeans - if they do something good their ethnicity is mentioned, while if they do something bad they're mentioned as "Britons".

Might be cherrypicking but there are definitely many cases of the media putting a biased spin on things and I'm certain this is one of them.
