"Beyond that, it was a threshold decision by the paper. I'm told by
people who monitor these things that drivers get attacked monthly. We
rarely report routine beatings of anyone, much less drivers, and if we
did, the newspaper would have room for little else."
Steve please define "routine beating". From what I saw on the videotape, that was no
routine beating, that was a professional assualt. Maybe when irate newspaper
readers start routinely beating Star Tribune reporters
when they don't like the way a story is or is not reported these beatings will
start getting some ink in the papers.
Personally I think the paper discounted the worth of the man beaten because after
all he's onnly a bus driver.
