I am so tired of hearing people bleating "journalism is dead" every time they find a news story not to their liking.
Maybe instead of blaming journalism, you should find a more reliable source of news? In about two seconds of search you can find plenty of stories quoting witnesses and the police about how the driver was to blame, e.g., here.
Do you scream "cooking is dead" if you happen to have a bad meal at a restaurant from time to time?
