Where are the news cameras????

A couple of weeks ago one of our drivers was involved in a bad collision and ended up rolling his truck. To make a long story short he is now paralyzed from the neck down. THE DRIVER OF THE 4WHEELER had fallen asleep and hit him. The only reports I have seen on this were in the local paper. If the truck driver had fallen asleep and the 4wheeler was paraslyzed it would be on the news everywhere. Where are the cameras now????? :evil: :evil:

Sounds typical of the biased media.
The other day in Dallas a drunk driver reended a Swift truck parked on the shoulder.Killed the driver and his passanger.
I was waiting for them to blame the truck driver for parking on the highway shoulder.

Well... it could STILL happen! IIRC, that shoulder is posted as "emergency parking only." I hope the Swift truck can prove his "emergency." Otherwise.... he might be at fault for the accident.

Yep, because a good lawyer for the drunk would say, "Hey if the truck wasn't there, my client never would have crashed." We had a guy who was a habitual offender for drunk driving, he got hit one night by a lady who was drunk. He happened to not be drunk that night but his license was suspended. They both were charged and his lawyer got his charges tossed because of the above reasoning basically. "If the lady had not been drunk my client would not have been charged, nor involved in a wreck." Judge took it and dropped his charges.

Completely agree with the OP, ain't right but it happens in everything, not just with truck-car crashes for the bias. We got people in my area whining about the road conditions and how horrible they are. They are blaming all the trucks and how they are overloaded and dropping debris as they go down the roads. The newspaper will actually print that BS but if you speak against their views or feelings, they refuse to print it.
