Even Fox news would have trouble keeping a straight face telling that porkie...
1) Boeing knew that a step to trim back to level before hitting the cutout was not in the emergency response checklist: did they modify it - NO
2) Boeing knew that MCAS would keep coming back for another bite 5s after the last trim input but a pilot could safely use the trim if they hit the cutout within 5s afterwards: they did share that - NO
3) Boeing knew that if there was an unreliable airspeed situation after take-off, leaving the flaps out would inhibit MCAS and allow a safe landing: did they share that - NO
4) Boeing knew that they had modified the trim architecture so that the pilots first response of pulling back on the column would no longer inhibit AND trim as it did in the NG and every other 737: did they share that - NO
