Is it, though? I would understand this like the "more guilty" party was being named - the one that caused the accident. Where I live, the newspapers print rather graphic photos of particularly bad car-on-car accidents when the happen locally. Part of that is sensationalism, sure - but part of it is making people aware that bad accidents actually do happen, even if you never individually were involved in one, and that you should think about when you made bad decisions that could have lead to accidents in the past - it makes you, subconsciously, show more attention the next few times you drive. While this may not have been the case in this particular accident, the number of times I see cyclists' complete disregard for traffic rules and thus in effect their own safety is too high. Generally painting cyclists as traffic victims absolves them from any wrongdoing, makes them pay less attention, and may thus lead to more accidents.
