    They must have caught some heat from truck drivers, because now the headline reads:
    [h=1]3 congregants killed when semi slams into church van[/h]Which, imo, isn't any better. It surely implies the semi is at fault, when he likely isn't.
    All media is biased, lying, and disgusting.
    They could have easily titled it: "Church van pulls out in front of semi, resulting in three fatalities".

    Whenever I hear the words "church van" anymore I picture a vehicle filled with people plunging off a ravine. One would have to have a death wish to step inside one of those things

    The media just don't like truck drivers and tries their best to make all of them look bad with their headlines.

    Ride around with any priest or ravian in a van around up here and you only has one of two out comes, death or sex abuse.

    Sex scandal are coming out everywhere now a days.
    That distraction will make bad driver pulling in front of transport truck and smashed.

    I remember in Holyrood a priest pulled in front of one of my uncles trucks with a fulling load fuel tanker with his ford LTD. Dead on impact and the driver saved the truck from rolling over and prevented a huge environmental disaster and/or explosion.

    Dumb priest got his dead wish.
    Guess God was pissed of with him in a big way.

    Reminds me of a joke.

    The good news is, a bus load of terrorists plummet off cliff while on route to bomb building class

    The bad news is, there were 3 empty seats.

    Headlines sell attention, attract readers, makes more money. Semi kills creates images of mass destruction.....much more attention-grabbing than Collision claims 3 church members. One sounds (and is) violent, the other sounds like an obituary column statistic. Big stuff makes big messes makes big attention makes bigger money.

    No doubt, when the headlines reads, "3 congregants killed when semi slams into church van" it draws many to the web site and or causes them to buy the newspaper. And for most in this world its all about money, not the truth.
