Today's San Antonio Express-News displayed a perfect example of how the Main Stream Media promotes class warfare. First, here's the story exactly as printed in the News:
Woman driving Mercedes critically injures infant
By Valentino Lucio - Express-News
A 42-year-old woman driving a 2008 convertible Mercedes Benz jumped a curb and critically injured an 18-month-old girl around 8 p.m. Thursday on the city’s North Side, police said.
San Antonio police officers at the scene said the driver of the vehicle was intoxicated when she hit the infant, the infant’s 3-year-old sister and 36-year-old mother while they were tending to yard work at their home in the corner of Rogers Place and Cabin Road near Rogers Ranch Parkway.
The driver fled the scene after the accident, but police stopped her off Gold Canyon Rd.
She is currently in police custody and faces two counts of intoxicated assault and two counts of failure to stop and render aid, police said.
The infant suffered a punctured lung and injuries to her head. She was airlifted to University Hospital in critical condition. Her mother and sister suffered only minor scrapes and bruises.
What in tarnation does the vehicle make have to do with this story, much less the year and model? Not a thing -- I'm surprised the reporter didn't include the brand names of any expensive jewelry the woman wore.....
The story is that an drunk driver lost control, jumped the curb and seriously injured an eighteen month old baby! She drove away - but was found, arrested and is in custody!!! That's the story, plus the current condition of the victim -- we'll pray for the child....
Do you reckon that if she was driving a 2002 Ford Taurus, that would be a part of the headline and first line of the news item....... nahhh, neither do I!!
And they wonder why their readership and subscriptions drop everyday!!!

I heard about this story and the only specific info I heard was the Mercedes, and that allowed me to find it on the internet. So in this case, it's helpful if you're looking for a specific news story and you are trying to isolate it from many other similar stories.
