Creative reporting...

TV stations must be hurting for stories and/or reporters when they broadcast self-made youtube videos as news?

The latest was a story about a motorist harassing a pair of cyclist riding along the side of a road.
It "just so happens" that the cyclists both had cameras while riding, and even though the motorist appeared to be the instigator in the clip, I would like to know why the cyclist were carrying cameras while they rode? I know when I ride I keep my hands on the handlebars and keep my eyes on the road, and not on a person driving behind me.

This makes me think that maybe, just maybe, these cyclist may have provoked the driver BEFORE they started filming so they could capture the drivers reaction on video.

I know that most cyclist adhere to the basic rules of the road, and don't create problems. There are always cyclists and drivers that just don't get it as well.

Once again, I can't understand WHY they were videoing their bike ride, unless they knew or expected something would happen (something they instigated before the video was started).

Seems like there are more and more youtube idiots wanting their miniscule 15 minutes of fame, regardless of how they get it or who gets hurt in the process!
