Double Trouble

As pointed out in the Roundup this morning, the Chronicle and Mercury News have two startlingly different takes on yesterday's speech by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in San Francisco. They are the top two stories on Rough&Tumble as well. Check out the difference between the article titles and the leads:

New' Schwarzenegger gets surprisingly warm welcome -- A tough crowd -- the toughest -- was supposed to be on hand when Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up unexpectedly Monday to address the annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in San Francisco. Carla Marinucci in the San Francisco Chronicle -- 1/17/06

Schwarzenegger gets a hostile response -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tried to mend fences with labor Monday by appearing at a union-sponsored breakfast in honor of Martin Luther King in San Francisco. After a few scattered boos, the audience listened politely to his speech and laughed at his Terminator jokes. Laura Kurtzman in the San Jose Mercury Josh Richman in the Oakland Tribune -- 1/17/06
