Perhaps just a simple typo: what do you think the last apply-templates
is doing?  You have already handled all the children of the 'news'
element explicitly, this will visit them all again.

What you may not know is that there is a set of built-in templates
which by default essentially output all the text without any markup.
This is where your 'ghost' copy is coming from.
