Quality of reporting
Could the reporter be an aggrieved ex-pupil?

Bicyclist Clipped by Truck
Aug 7, 2008
For Bainbridge High School Principal Tommie Howell, riding a bicycle on East River Road proved to be a dangerous way to exercise.
About 6 pm Wednesday afternoon, Tommie Howell was pedalling north on the edge of East River Road. The driver of a pickup, also heading north, was distracted for a moment. He looked up to see the bicycle at the edge of his truck.
The pickup's mirror clipped Mr Howell's bike and sent him tumbling. EMS transported him to the hospital to be checked for what was reported to be minor injuries.

I don't see the bias there. I'd like to know how in the heck the reporter knew what the trucker was thinking (cite, people), but I'm not seeing the bias there.

Anyway, it's not there now so the thread seems a little pointless.
