Apologies for the lateness in this reply...
??? Im not talking about speculation...I am talking about absolute statements prior to final report...
Which comes across as pretty much the same thing to uninformed readers. We should at least be able to agree on that. Many people believe everything they read. Even experts who recognize fabrications and factual errors in articles dealing with their expertise have a tendancy to believe much more of what they read outside of their expertise.
Was the article headline similar to this, "Air Canada has been flying dangerous airplanes for years when the aircraft rolled 60* for no apparent reason."
No it wasn't. My reference was to an article which lent credence to the suggestion that wake turbulence from a stealth bomber caused the upset. I cannot find the article at the moment, unfortunately.
Regardless...
The headline to which you were referring
was irresponsible. However, I disagree that North American or Canadian media are any more or less reponsible/irresponsible/biased than European media.
