My faith in the article's objectivity is called into question by the fact that it reports:
"An American Airlines flight attendant bullied a tired mother of twin babies over her stroller, and then readied himself to punch a passenger who rose to her defense."
Whereas the Guardian's account of what seems to be the same event is:
"Another passenger comes to her defence and threatens to punch the flight attendant, who in turn challenges the passenger to hit him."

- dsfyu404ed 9y agoA couple weeks ago there were four people who were shot and killed in Boston that just so happened to be on the same day. NBC called is a "surge in gun violence" and you flip over to Fox and it's "four murders" Nobody writes a story in a way that maximizes conflict with their personal opinions. No editor tweaks things to make a story less in line with the organization's stakeholders. The narrative changes a lot based on who's writing the story. Whether you slant things intentionally or not or even at all is another story. I would not be surprised if the flight attendant and passenger got in a yelling match, threatened to punch each other and the people writing the articles just tilted things in favor of whichever side they favored based on their opinions and information available to them.

- rubidium 9y agoI don't think the article was trying to be objective.
