   False.   
      
   Interviews published by the press are very often incomplete--not containing   
   the complete interview and not having interviews of all witnesses.   
      
   Reporters are not investigators.  Investigators are trained to seek out subtle   
   details that a reporter wouldn't notice.  Further, today, some "news reports"   
   are nothing but amateur video, captured by someone without any training.   
      
   In addition, the press interviews people at the scene for quick publication in   
   the next edition.  In contrast, the actual investigators interview a wider   
   circle of people, such as family members of the auto's driver.  They also   
   search any videos of the    
   scene, such as perhaps taken from a security camera at a nearby building.   
      
   There have been numerous auto accidents where the initially publicized 'cause'   
   was later contradicted by subsequent investigation.
