Indeed, theoretically the fault is that no one (including me) posted one of the earlier articles about the news.
But, from a quality focus, yes, I think if there clearly are better and earlier posts about the same news, with the same (or in that case, more comprehensive information, like e.g. Music Ally's post), HN would benefit from actually not surfacing the clickbaity, dramatic rewrite that was published 2 days later.
It is also clearly stated in the submission guidelines:
"Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter. "
In that case, this rule was broken, and that behavior was rewarded.
