Those days are sadly gone - unbiased reporting has become the exception, not the rule. TV tends to be worse than print, but they are all guilt (some more than others). The NYT used to be considered 'the paper of record', but now they have some of the worst bias. The focus is now 'what sells' - and quite frankly good news doesn't sell.
Would it be possible to have more specific information on what was biased or inaccurate in the media reports on the subject of interest here, the 737 MAX issues ?
I had the feeling that the NYT, the WSJ, the Seattle Times, Leeham News, to name a few of the media, provided clear, detailed and unbiased info, as confirmed by the the FAA officials testimonies at Congress.
The only discrepancy seems to be that according to press reports, safety has been compromised, whereas those FAA member keep stating that safety is their highest priority...
