Maybe I'm just reading too much into this, but when the Miami Herald broke the story at 9:19 am Thursday that a woman clad only in a sheet is in critical condition after she had "stepped in front of a pick-up truck," I realized that none of the subsequent stories posted on WSVN, local10 or even nbc6 mentioned that she was suffering from serious injuries because she had actively stepped in front of a truck. Instead, they all reported that she had simply been "struck" or "hit" by a truck (more passive voice).
Am I reading way too much into these semantics? Check it out for yourself. I've included the links in my last blog.
