I don't understand the problem!?,

There was a potential threat, it was reported in the press, it was later
refined and proven to be a much lower threat, end of story.
=20
No one is/was panicking, no one has lied to anyone, and there is no
Circus!?.=20
=20
I suspect the reason they released the story so quickly was they were
asking for other astronomers to help refine the data (the more
observations the better), and you can't keep information like that
secret, its better to give a formal press release there and then. I
agree it's not ideal but hey that's life.
