If you believe the Mail are 'cyclist bashers' or are being unduly sensationalistic due the victims job it shouldn't make any difference should it?Well, there is a reason why it is sometimes called the daily wail.
I wonder if the article would have the same prominence if the victim was a cleaner or similar.
My point was, do you think the story would have been given the same prominence if the perpetrator was in a motor vehicle?Was the story written by the newspaper untrue? Did they tell any lies? Did they report what actually happened? I am sorry, but to be honest i havn't read anything from the above piece that sounds like cyclist bashing and if what happened was fact, then the cyclist IMHO deserved a far harsher punishment than the one he recieved.
Car drivers injuring peds is more common, so possibly not.My point was, do you think the story would have been given the same prominence if the perpetrator was in a motor vehicle?

Almost certainly not.My point was, do you think the story would have been given the same prominence if the perpetrator was in a motor vehicle?
I can only agree with @welsh dragon. You see it often enough in paper headlines referring to individuals by their mode of transport. I think there is quite a bit of cycling bashing, but this isn't it.My point was, do you think the story would have been given the same prominence if the perpetrator was in a motor vehicle?
