Media Tells Only Half the Story About Bus Accident

Teen Using Restroom Falls Out Bus Window

As is so often the case, the most interesting part - or even most relevant part - of the story are the parts that the article *doesn't* mention. And as is so often the case, it's a political decision for them to withhold the information.

The first significant point: no mention about any safety problems with the bus. If there were a defect which would allow someone who was using the restroom properly to simply fall out of a window, it would have been the headline. But not a peep. No matter how severe the lane change, it would have to be a pretty glaring defect for something like this to happen, but not a peep. Interesting.

They say the teen fell out of the window while using the restroom on the bus. Just close your eyes and imagine what the teen would have had to be doing and in what position he had to have been for it to have been possible to fall out of a window when the bus swerved to change lanes.

He may have been in the restroom, but there's no way he was just an innocent victim. He was doing something stupid that involved him hanging out of the window, and as a result he wound up falling out of it. My guess? He wasn't alone in that restroom...

The end of the article states that he had been at the Capitol "to lobby with a group on the issue of AIDS." When a newspaper fails to mention the name or political alignment of a group, you can bet it's a group that the media wants to protect in some way: if it's a conservative or Republican group, it's always mentioned front and center. So we have an unnamed "group lobbying about AIDS." Add to that a desire by the media to protect the identity of the group...Hmm...Could it be that it was a gay group and that this teen was engaged in illicit activities in the restroom?

Bet money on it...
