I truly don't know what runs through the head of a writer or editor who hits publish on a story with this title right now.
Surely they must know that they're actively misleading people with it. That putting it out into a world where ten times as many people read headlines as entire articles means they're lying to ten times as many people as they're informing.
- missosoup 7y agoThis has been happening from the start of the 737 MAX situation. It has been incredibly eye-opening to see how the media will amplify and outright misrepresent the facts of a situation to create outrage/clicks/uptake/whatever. I know a little bit about aviation and chat to commercial pilots so watching the media coverage and comparing it to what the people in the industry are saying has been a bit bewildering and eye opening. I can only assume the media is equally manipulative in all other subject matters where I don't know enough to discern.
- thawaway1837 7y agoRight from the start, except, right from the start media reports have consistently understated Boeing’s involvement. Thats what allowed the FAA to prevent grounding the MAXs until days after the 2nd crash and only after nearly every other regulator in the world had grounded it. The fact that anyone can complain that this situation has been presented in a way that is unfair to Boeing is remarkable.
