Re: [trafficsafety] It's all about the language

...was the Chief wearing a helmet?  The media always tells us if the rider was wearing a helmet.  Oh, and he’s a fair weather cyclist.  Better to be fair, then not to be one at all.  I hope he has a speedy recovery, but who was at fault?  Couldn’t be the chief... But the media always points the finger at the cyclists, don’t they?

This article from the Buffalo, NY area is very interesting. You might notice that it's missing all the little biased tidbits that such media reports of cyclist-motorist collisions tend to feature. Is it that this Nancy A. Fischer is such a principled journalist or the fact that the cyclist hit is the police chief of his community? I can't be certain, but it did make me wonder if any of the cyclists on the PPB would be willing to take one for the team... (please insert black humor here)
