news,
Are you saying media companies in Australia were paid off by EK to not report the Melbourne incident, which IIRC was the week's headline story for all media outlets from The Channel Nine News to the Balonne Beacon, complete with load sheet analysis, groovy pictures of the busted ILS and 'We Thought We Were Going To Die' interviews from several expert pax?

Is that what you're saying? No worries if you are, but what's your evidence, even if it's unsubstantiated, hearsay or otherwise inadmissable? In the words of the great private aviator John Tavolta, Tell Me More .

Australia has at least one hundred media companies* without considering unorthadox sources such as PPRuNe and crikey.com, so that's an awful lot of bribes and control, even for a wealthy company like Emirates .
* B&T : Major Media Companies, and I realize Just For Adults Pty Ltd may have had other things on their minds...
