VPN scrambles website

I used the VPN for the first time on my tablet, which doesn't have data, while traveling to avoid hotel wifi networks. The first time I used it, it worked ok. The second time, I opened a newspaper website to the front page. It contained articles from past dates, some months old, mixed in with that day's news. It was impossible to find most current articles. So I had to turn it off and use the hotel wifi. Then I got a correct front page. Why did this happen?
