The real difference IMO is that the planned short attack is just that; planned. The barrels are loaded with ammo and the stories that get disseminated are only one thing; a smoke screen. Usually the shorting starts early and as the stories get splatted about it only gives the shorts "cover". If investigated they can simply say, "Look at all of those news stories out there. We had good reason to short the stock."
