Somebody got to the NYTimes

Check this out. Earlier today, I made up a gleeful post saying "I love headlines like this"
Republicans Resigned to Idea of Big Losses

So, when I went back to the NYTimes to post it now, that title has been replaced.
G.O.P. Glum as It Struggles to Hold Congress

Here's the key change (in the first paragraph.) In the first version, "but that they were increasingly resigned to losing at least 15 and therefore control of the House to Democrats for the first time in 12 years."

In the second version, "But they were increasingly steeling themselves to the loss of at least 15 and therefore control of the House for the first time in 12 years."

So, what changed besides a call from the Republicans?

(As of now, both links still work.)
