Nearly every article you read about car crashes involving cyclists or pedestrians contains biased, victim-blaming language. Although journalism is supposed to be objective and accurate, we will present a report that shows most crash reports are neither—whether they come from local, state, or national outlets. We will also discuss the real-life consequences and legal repercussions of crash language, and compare good and bad crash reporting with actual examples.
