Until newspapers/media start reporting cause of death the inclusion of statements indicating whether or not the riders were wearing helmets are meaningless, misleading and piss poor reporting. However since so many newspapers now engage in this type of subliminal propaganda one can only wonder if they might not be receiving some of the motorcycle safety grant monies that have been diverted from doing something meaningful about MC safety.Add to Technorati Favorites
