Another BS Headline

The media continues its slow death. Headline in the Tribune:

• Woman dies in crash involving off-duty police sergeant

Oh no, everyone is thinking, here we go again. Then when you read the story:

• Jacobs [the deceased] was driving eastbound on 112th Street when her Kia Rio sedan went through a stop sign and drove into the intersection of 112th and Kedzie Avenue, Lesniak said.

  Jacob's car was then struck by the off-duty female officer who was driving a Dodge Durango truck southbound on Kedzie, Lesniak said. The Durango was the officer's personal car, Lesniak said.

So the dead woman was the at-fault vehicle. And now it's coming out she may have had a seizure and been dead while the car was rolling through the stop sign. So what purpose does it serve naming the occupant of the other car (who is a VICTIM in this case) as a CPD member?

Fortunately, a larger number of people call out the Trib for it's obvious bias in the comment sections. The headline over at the Sun Times isn't much better, but the comments run the same direction as the Trib's - stop the BS.

Maybe the tide is turning subtly our way again?
