sox4lifeinPA Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) I'm not really asking why the guy being shot is news...that's clearly a news story - first time the air marshalls have done anything lethal since 9/11, yeah. But I'm asking why CNN is putting stories up suggesting that there's doubt as to the motives/propriety of the actions of the air marshalls when there really is no logical reason at all to doubt their actions. I see. well, real news died with 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that is the nature of the media today. It is much easier to pick something apart in hindsight and sensationalize it, then to accept that in the heat of the moment trained professionals may have just made the right decision.
