It wasn't "media disinformation", it was the local constable and his accident investigators being wrong.

And even in that article, there's an addendum a couple of months later stating that a person was seen getting in the driver's seat and that the NTSB reenactment wasn't able to engage the autosteering when trying to replicate the crash.
I don't know what more you want from the press. They reported what they were told by the authorities. And then when new information came in, they reported that as well.

- dboreham 4y ago> it was the local constable and his accident investigators being wrong Possibly it's the media's job to question when law enforcement comments seem implausible?
- bigmattystyles 4y agoTrue, but are you questioning the NTSB as well?
- prawn 4y agoWhat general reporter would have the experience and evidence to override an authority speaking with that confidence? They're reporting news. They report the law enforcement side and then the Tesla side. They updated (at the top of the article) twice as more information came to hand.
