I do blame news outlets going for sensational news rather than factual statements.
This is real journalism:
"Flight X234 had to emergency land due to a collision with an unidentified object right after takeoff. It is not unusual to hit birds or other objects, but at at this time we don't know what it was."
This is pimping news for money:
"OMG, terrorist drone bought at 7/11 was navigated by attackers into plane to kill citizens."
Why is libel misused to silence people, while so-called journalists can lie?
- notahacker 11y agoA pilot landed an aircraft after a collision with an object he believed to be a drone, following four confirmed incidents of drone near misses at UK airports in recent months. Media reported the incontrovertible fact of the aircraft landing and the pilot's presumably good-faith belief it was a drone. The BBC even put 'drone' in inverted commas in their original headline. You are seriously arguing that this amounts to "lies" and should be suppressed?
