The local emergency dispatch center says it received no 911 calls about the incident, and police have no record of responding.
The television station’s general manager says the driver was going the wrong way, jumped a curb, and was “completely off of the roadway” when the reporter was hit.
An Occupational Safety and Health Administration spokesperson told Discrepancy Report that the reporter’s television station did not report the incident.
“Employers are only required to report fatalities, in-patient hospitalizations, amputations, and eye loss,” she explained. “This was not required to be reported.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, meanwhile, said it captures no data on the risks of solo reporting and its injury statistics don’t differentiate between field journalists and journalists who are not in the field.
“The dangers are an issue that television news managers and station owners should finally take seriously before a journalist is killed doing their job,” Rebecca Aguilar, the SPJ’s president, told Discrepancy Report.
The conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation has called the homeless problem in Portland, Oregon the “worst in the nation.”
The influential group’s declaration preceded a flurry of negative national media coverage by Fox News Channel and other outlets.
But how does the city really rank?
After charging nearly $500 for a public records request, police released an exchange of text messages between a sergeant and a Proud Boys activist.
The agency then sent Discrepancy Report a police report regarding its handling of a May 1 rally but failed to release call records between the sergeant and the activist that were requested repeatedly.
“We’re the ones who respond to emergencies in the middle of the night,” one of the impacted physicians told Discrepancy Report. “The only reason to do this is to make money off of your trainees who are already being underpaid.”
The incident happened on May 17. After a Facebook post about it was published June 9, police said the Salvation Army asked them to drop a criminal charge.
A Salvation Army spokesman told Discrepancy Report, “The manager of our store misunderstood our policy and acted in a way that is clearly contrary to our mission.”
Multiple citizens and journalists say they were assaulted and pushed out of the event held at a city park, though no arrests have been made.
City leaders deny giving far-right organizers preferential treatment.
Oregon’s Public Utility Commission is evaluating the historic February 2021 storm and power outages.
Past government reports, meanwhile, found utilities reduced outages by 25% to 30% after properly trimming trees they’re required to maintain near power lines.
The records he says were and were not broken and whether climate change played a part.
