Spot the Difference

Radio 1 apologies for race gaffe

and

Tory suspended over racist email


One is a sensitive portrayal of an innocent DJ who is never accused of being racist in the slightest, she just didn't know what she was saying; and the other is a series of damning indictments of a Conservative councillor from her political enemies, who is assumed to be racist (note the lack of scare quotes around the r word).

Something must account for this difference...er...um...no, sorry it's no use, I can't think of what it might be.
