Conflicting views

I caught two articles from the Edmonton Journal in my RSS feed reader this morning.  The articles themselves are not very interesting.  I find it amusing that two articles posted at exactly the same time say opposite things about presumably the same event.

The second article has more details, so I'm going to guess that it's the more accurate one.  The first article was likely hastiely made with a catchy headline to grab readers.  Neither article is really worth reading.  Why would they be speculating about the cause of the fire before the police even got a chance to investigate it?  CHECK YOUR FACTS!  No more sensational bullshit.  The news is trying imply that growing pot will make your house light on fire and kill you.

I can only see one article?

Grow ops kill. Hrm. I think they might have mixed "grow op" up with "meth lab"

I guess I fail at copy and paste. The link is somewhere in my Del.icio.us bookmarks. It's pretty far back though, since I haven't went through my bookmarks lately :(
