World Solar Challenge cover up?

It's good to see the World Solar Challenge given some publicity eg

This may not be the full story. Xinhua, the official Chinese newsagency, reports an aspect of the winning team' s victory celebrations which you'd normally expect to see featured prominently in many of Mr Murdoch's media outlets:

The Dutch team celebrated in typically exuberant fashion, some members exposing their behinds as the car came to a halt, and later jumping gleefully onto the Victoria Square fountain.

What are we to make of this? Who is providing "fair and balanced" reporting here: the Murdoch or the Chinese media?
