Actual framing:

Cruise wasn’t hiding the pedestrian-dragging video from regulators — it just had bad internet / An independent review of an incident in which a driverless Cruise vehicle dragged a pedestrian over 20 feet concludes the company has connectivity issues.

My expectations for journalists are low but goddamn

I don't think it's fair to call the verge journalism. It has many of the trappings of journalism, but writing shit on a public website a journalist does not make. Especially when that site looks like it's gonna give my computer fucking herpes. Dogshit website should be banned.
