Journo's can sometimes polarise people & one article that displeases you categorises them, in your eyes, into a negative bucket
Here are 3 articles if you care to read them. My point is that they don't sound like they are objective. The reasons for this is that everything has a 'positive spin' put on it. The A380 article especially reads like a ad for Airbus.
You don't have to be overly negative however a balanced view without the positive spin might give Mr Thomas more creditability. Call a spade a spade not just repeat the company spin.
