Japanese media bias?

http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/nation...na003000c.html

It appears that a JAL aircraft* landed at NGO and squished a few seagulls, closing the runway for a while ... yet the media focus is on CAL, which was nowhere near the place and simply had to divert until the runway was open again! Seems to be more a case of Japanese media bias, rather than any fault on the part of CAL.

(*Initial report from this newspaper didn't even mention that it was a JAL aircraft.)
