But it seems when a topic of interest of our fellow aviation workers such as baggage handlers comes out we're all ready to dismiss it as being biased/fake/irrelevant.
Spot on. Exactly, when it's of interest it's great journalism, when it's facts are irrelevant or of no interest to the reader it's 'leftist'... the people on the 'right' think they're so much more intelligent than people on the 'left' yet many of them, the best comeback they can think of is 'leftard'... (not even a word).
