Roger Ebert on Ryan Dunn
Jackass TV star Ryan Dunn was killed in June when the car he was driving skidded off a road in Pennsylvania. A few hours before, Dunn had tweeted a link to his Tumblr page, which featured a picture of him and friends with drinks in hand. Longtime Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert (@ebertchicago) weighed in on the accident on the basis of unproven evidence that Dunn was intoxicated at the time of the crash. As a journalist, Ebert should have known to wait for the facts. As a human, he may want to work on some sensitivity.
