Sadly the aviation industry is not being singled out in this case... tasteless as it is nevertheless.
Just take time to listen to the news on the radio or tv and see how they sensationalise and speculate on outcomes. TV and radio are just as bad as each other and no better than newspapers in this regard. They all ask the question of their "man at the scene" (maybe "person" is a better term?).. "So tell us.. all this media attention must be exacerbating the speculation even more. How is this being handled?"
They try to hide behind responsibility and then continue for the next 20 mins speculating and throwing around rumours?
Good example.. Arafat. Is he dead or isn't he? They spend hours talking about it.... based on rumour and guesswork. Not fact... but then the facts are often boring aren't they and hardly to be considered "news"...
maybe I'm just cynical
