when the headline reads asteroid, and the first sentence of the article says Meteorite

Must be something like this:

If the object stays in space it is an asteroid or comet. If it hits the atmosphere it is a meteor. If it hits the ground it is a meteorite.

I knew you'd show up and sort out this mess. I don't think this is the one we've been expecting. (...any day now?)
