Comments on: The Death Of The Media https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/12/10/the-death-of-the-media/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/12/10/the-death-of-the-media/comment-page-1/#comment-50206 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 17:07:14 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=12470#comment-50206 In reply to Comrade Kevin.

It would be nice if there were some actual reporting, and less speculation, but there really isn’t anything to report.

The Florida Highway Patrol was handed the accident by locals, because no one wanted to deal with it. They issued a careless driving ticket, because there was pressure for them to do something, and hitting a tree and fire hydrant is proof of careless driving. If the fire hydrant hadn’t been hit, they really wouldn’t have done anything. This took place in a driveway, not a highway, so the whole thing was pretty iffy, from a legal standpoint.

I probably wouldn’t have issued a report if it had been in my jurisdiction, because that would have made collecting from insurance company hell on earth. I doubt an insurance claim will actually be filed, as the guy can pay cash for another car, so why go through the aggravation?

There were a lot of things going on in the world that I care a lot more about than the domestic problems of people who play games for a living.

But that’s not how it’s being reported.
