Sensationalist headline is sensationalist, correct in the best kind of correct.
- tekla 3y agoThere is nothing sensationalist. The flight was scrubbed. The headline didn't make any mention of the reason, the fact is literally, the flight attempt was a scrub.
- Dalewyn 3y agoIt's definitely accurate to the facts, but twisted to try and paint a certain narrative given the current trends. Technically correct, the best kind of correct. The headline could be an infinite number of ways more descriptive instead of riding on the coattails of the Boeing bash bandwagon: "ULA scrubs launch of first crewed Boeing Starliner due to faulty valve in Atlas V." "Boeing Starliner's first crewed mission scrubbed due to faulty valve in launch vehicle." etc.
- pfdietz 3y agoI call bullshit on you. It was a perfectly fine headline. That they've tied Starliner to Atlas 5 is not something that was forced on them, so Boeing and Starliner gets to own the consequences.

- redserk 3y agoIn case it hasn’t been obvious, Boeing has been in the news over the last few months for various airplane defects. I fail to see how it’s unreasonable to believe a journalist wouldn’t want to utilize the negative undertones of the Boeing name here, considering this would not an unusual pattern to utilize for headline writing.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoIt's misleading. The issue was with the ULA launch.
- tekla 3y agoHow is it misleading? The mission was crewed Starliner and it was scrubbed. ULA wasn't mentioned. Also Boeing is 50% ULA.
