Your quote of me is a simplification of the excerpt the OP provided (the corpses pile up line). But if I were outraged (I’m not), my comment about your emotional denouncing of the article doesn’t magically become the starting point for your imagined outrage.
I read the article. I read techdirt often for their good sourcing and no pulled punches. I fail to see how using other articles for a source is a problem, especially when the source is supporting a claim like, “pointy cars.”
There were other sources for the facts of the article, like the NSC for fatality data.
