I think the reason why the free metro paper printed less infomation might simply be space consideration. The free papers I've picked up in the past tend to only be pretty short and mainly focused on local issues where as larger papers can focus more on stories intended for blatant sensationalism.
I honestly fail to see the point in news agencies reporting anything thats happened with Mel Gibson besides their attempt to attract viewers. Yes, he was drunk driving. Yes, he spat out anti semitic remarks. Yes, he really should apologize. If you took Mel Gibson out and replaced him with a random person off the street, we'd never have heard a whisper. I'm sure things like this happen with disapointing regularity and we never hear about it simply because no one in the public eye is involved.
I'm not condoning his behavior, just saying that it's not even real news.
