They had the most pertinent details about the cause of the accident (no lights in area, no reflectors or lights on bike, cyclist wearing dark clothes and headphones), and had the story up earliest, but doesn&#8217;t say what time. B neglects to mention the the lack of reflectors and the dark clothes, but does get a more specific time.  C&#8217;s headline focuses on one cause and misses the lack of lights and dark clothes, but let&#8217;s us know the time and has more details about the accident itself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abclocal.go.com\/ktrk\/story?section=local&amp;id=3524825\">Source A<\/a>: KTRK<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.khou.com\/news\/local\/stories\/khou051011_ac_fatalbike.e3095ebc.html\">Source B<\/a>: KHOU<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chron.com\/cs\/CDA\/rssstory.mpl\/metropolitan\/3391258\">Source C<\/a>: The Chronicle<\/p>\n<p>(potential <a href=\"http:\/\/www.click2houston.com\/index.html\">Source D<\/a>: KPRC and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ktrh.com\/main.html\">Source E<\/a>: KTRH had not covered the story as of 10:15am CDT)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which news source did the best job of reporting this incident?
