We rarely report routine beatings of anyone, much less drivers, and if we did, the newspaper would have room for little else." Steve please define "routine beating". From what I saw on the videotape, that was no routine beating, that was a professional assualt. Maybe when irate newspaper readers start routinely beating Star Tribune reporters when they don't like the way a story is or is not reported these beatings will start getting some ink in the papers. Personally I think the paper discounted the worth of the man beaten because after all he's onnly a bus driver.
