So, next time there is major car accident that kills a family caused by a fellow drunk as a skunk, it is ok for the headline ro read "car kills family". Got it.

Media Blames Truck, Not Terrorists or Islam, For Nice Attack
"Leftist media outlets reacted to the devastating attack in Nice not by blaming Islam or even terrorists, but by suggesting that an inanimate object – the truck – was responsible for the carnage.
Instead of pointing the finger at Islamists, CNN, CBC and the New York Times all published headlines that served to hide the true nature of the attack.
CBC reported, “Children feared killed in Nice as truck attacks family event”. Presumably, the truck was somehow able to manifest artificial intelligence and plough itself through dozens of victims.
Not to be outdone, CNN reported “Truck rams crowd; 84 dead in Nice,” again providing a convenient way of avoiding any mention of the ideology that inspired the driver."

No use of the word 'Islamic Extremist', 'Radical Islam', 'ISIS', or even 'terrorist'.
No mention of 'terrorism' or 'terrorist' at all (for example, 'Terrorist Attack - Rams Truck Into Crowd killing 84') - Just 'TRUCK Rams Crow'.
So how long before we see Liberals demanding legislation be passed regarding TRUCKS or demanding Semis be labeled as 'ASAULT Trucks'?
"Given that the truck alone, and not the ideology that radicalized the terrorist who used one as a weapon, is to blame for the massacre in Nice, the solution to stop further violence is simple; Ban deadly assault trucks."
Dear easyt65
Isn't this because when the news was first reported,
people didn't have information on which people committed the attack? All they knew was a truck hit the crowd, so that's all they could state.
Even after stories get published with more information, because of legal liability, the news media have to be careful to state phrases like "alleged suspects" and CAN'T go around calling people terrorists unless they want to risk getting sued.
Apparently he doesn't know what an adjective is. Which is what "truck" is in the phrase "truck attack".
God forbid he should encounter the phrase "surprise attack". I bet he's off right now feverishly working up a thread about how the 1941 media tried to report that "surprise", and not "Japan", attacked Pearl Harbor.
Intellectual sloth --- it's what's for dinner around here.
Correct. Even with headlines that actually do exist outside Photoshop. Because most human readers above the level of the OP can figure out that a car crashing into people, or a plane flying into things, or a bullet hitting something, was put in place via some human action. Unless they're an alien from planet Uvoerhg who has no clue how the world works.
