Reporting in the Globe and Mail on today's first court date for Michael Bryant is disturbingly misleading. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/lawyers-to-make-court-appearance-in-bryant-case/article1328728/
Half a sentence describes the incident:"The accused faces charges of dangerous driving and criminal negligence causing the death of Darcy Allan Sheppard, 33, a bicycle courier who collided with Mr. Bryant's Saab convertible on Aug. 31." - sic
Kate Hammer is listed as the author of the article, but it is also credited: "With a report from Adam Radwanski" who is listed as a friend on Nikki Holland's Facebook page. So who wrote what?
Nikki Holland is Bryant's longtime assistant who can be seen outside the police car the night of the incident, and is apparently the one who delivered a new suit to Bryant early September 1st. Insider connections are detailed at http://www.njnnetwork.com/njn/?p=23078
Given the video evidence I shake my head at the continued brazen attempts to either spin this, or rely on the inaccurate and damaging police statement given September 1. Is journalism in Canada dead? Fortunately, netizens have rallied and posted accurate information.
