This is an interesting one.

NYT and CNN are running prominent doomsday stories in big headlines.

Fox News has been nearly silent on this one.

My inner conspiracy theorist tells me this isn't a fluke. Left-leaning sources are pouncing on Boeing, while right-side Fox is staying mum.

Is it my imagination? I can't think up a reason why.

Boeing and the FAA no doubt believe they are protecting shareholders by not grounding the fleet, but they're risking their reputation. If it turns out that Boeing is at fault, will the American media/industrial complex be able to keep a lid on it? I doubt it.

Fox News' webpage looks like a tabloid...but there were 2 videos about the crash and Boeing's safety concerns on the front page when I checked a minute ago.

Notably, the most liberal news site, NBC News, has a story about the Boeing MAX being safe at the top of its home page.

So I think it's your imagination.

I see multiple headlines on Fox News about this crash. I think you're over thinking this.

I agree, NBC is pretty much on the left. If they're calling the plane safe, my conspiracy theory must be bunk.

Thanks.

Is NBC that far left? I felt like MSNBC was further...

Singapore just grounded all their 737 Max flights. Aeromexico and GOL grounded their 737 Max planes today. Soon we’ll (U.S.) be the only country left flying these.
