Is there no one anywhere in journalism who knows the difference between a rubber tired loader and a bulldozer??? Good grief, the story is a few days old already and I haven’t seen anyone get it right yet.
With a few notable exceptions, there’s nobody in journalism who knows ANYTHING. Or cares. Fact checking? What’s that?
But at least he sympathetically reported the story of what happened to this family and their narrow escape from death.
And who knows? If the terrorist hadn’t backed up and tried again, but instead had driven straight on, maybe he would have killed a lot more people before he was brought down. So maybe it wasn’t just this one family that was saved from death.
In fairness to the journo, most readers think of any piece of earthmoving equipment as a “bulldozer.”
If he had used correct terminology, they wouldn’t have had a clue what he was talking about. A forklift?
Nah, only us cretins who actually work for living.
This is driving me nuts, too. What's so hard about saying "payloader" instead of bulldozer?
