An $8 Billion Discrepancy in the XM-Sirius Merger

Now that the U.S. Justice Department decided the merger of XM and Sirius wouldn't create a monopoly that had an unfair advantage over the competition, it's time to examine how … the press is labeling the deal. Depending on who you ask, it's a deal worth either $5 billion or $13 billion.

Business Week calls it a "$13 billion combination." At the Washington Post it's a "$13 billion deal." PC Magazine opts for "stock swap worth $13 billion."

The New York Times goes with "proposed $5 billion merger." The New York Post opts for "$5 billion union." The BBC considers it a "$5bn (£2.5bn) deal." The Associated Press is on board with "proposed $5 billion buyout."

If nobody is gonna miss some $8 billion, like, could you send some our way?
