Such as, "I was out of line and I was wrong,” he said in the statement. “I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.” (The New York Times). One seemed to focus on the drama of it, while the other explained in detail the events with quotes. In this specific example, it is clear New York Times has effectively shared this news.
