SUV Runs Amok At Party

I am on an anti-media roll today...an hour or two spent perusing the Sunday editions of the NYT, Chronicle and Mercury News does tend to make one angry and/or nauseous....it's so easy to find this shit. Here is another example of the media pushing an agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with the story:

Man run over by SUV dies on Peninsula

A Palo Alto man who hoped one day to be a rap star has died after he was run over by a sport utility vehicle following a fight at a party Sunday.

Oh my, pathos builds, a budding star nipped in the bud by an eeevil SUV. Let's read a bit further into the story shall we?

Palo Alto police arrested William Hill on suspicion of attempted murder, but he has not yet been charged. Authorities contend that Hill ran Snow over after a fistfight broke out at party at a home in the 2100 block of Cowper Street.

The SUV was involved in a fistfight? Well, now we understand....rowdy party animals those SUV's.

The investigation will also focus on the Chevrolet Tahoe that ran Snow over and any evidence that can be recovered from the vehicle. And prosecutors are waiting for toxicology tests to be completed.

The SUV may have been under the influence? Of what? A hot wax? A Jiffy Lube gone wrong?

WTF does the make of the auto have to do with this story other than reinforcing a negative stereotype created by the media to discredit SUV's?

Would we see this headline?

Man run over by sedan dies on Peninsula

Or how about this one:

Man run over by Prius dies on Peninsula

Even a casual troll through any metro newspaper will find such examples of agenda driven reportage. The truly funny part of this is if one drives by the same newspaper employee parking lot one finds a large percentage of SUV's and expensive imports.

Asshats.

Agenda Driven?

The acronym is AD.

Is there any significance
to that?
