Official Miami Herald Bain article

[bacane]

Very relevant, and painful, observations there.

I'm pointing out, there are a lot of relevant questions we can ask ourselves about what we know, don't know, and wish we knew about this situation.

And then there is the ESPN/Herald approach, where they ignore the nuances and merely talk about how CITATIONS WERE ISSUED and how SOMEONE DIED, without ever reflecting on the overall situation.

If there were 5 people in the car, that means there were 4 survivors too. Perhaps, given the totality of all the known facts, it's not such a good idea to focus the news article on citations written by a cop who didn't witness the accident. Even if the news article is accurate in the few facts that it does report.

When you OMIT certain factual details from an article, it allows assumptions and implications.

Sorry, the media did what it’s supposed to do - report the news. Bain is a high profile individual & the accident resulted in a tragic fatality. If the writer had the story/police report can’t be expected to hold it till after the draft. Sad story & feel for the family, but despite their feelings - again, understand their pain - media shouldn’t pick & choose what to report based on an individual or family’s desire. That kind of standard would breed chaos & further distrust of the media.
There are several larger issues. The first is how did Miami keep this under wraps for so long & how did the media not have a clue until now? Who was in the vehicle Bain allegedly rammed into? How does that even happen at 4 am on I-95? Now, timing of the leak raises the question of who provided the info & what was the motive? Obviously done to hurt Bain & Miami. Trying to impact Bain’s draft status? Is there bad blood with Ohio State over lost recruiting battles & current fight over DE Jacobs? Would assume Smith being local knew all about it.
Finally, as someone seriously impacted by a car accident, it ****es me off to see Miami players doing stupid **** & endangering lives. Forget the details, but recall a young linebacker charged in a fatality couple years ago. This is all sad.
