Who on earth writes these headlines...

Headline:

21 injured in seven vehicle pile up at Lopburi lights - Indian tourists in van that allegedly caused it

 

WRONG - An idiot van driver caused it, one who put the wellbeing of his passengers at risk.

From the article:

The media suggested the accident was caused by a van carrying a group of Indian tourists.

Thats more like it...     The headline borders on being racist as if the Indian passengers are to blame. 

 

Whoever wrote that headline should be demoted to photo-copy boy (person).

Driver overcome by curry fumes.

Banging on the Indian tourists already? How are Indians even remotely implicated in a crappy Thai van drivers screw up? 

 

Just last week we heard that Indian tourists were going to bail out the Thai tourism industry. I'm starting to think the Tourism industry has a few more challenges ahead than the government would like to think.

Errrrmmm, You are the media and you are the ones speculating about it . 

Was it a journalist thinking to himself "I wonder what caused the accident " and wrote the three things he could think of and reported that as speculation ?
