I agree with your reader’s take on the passengers of Flight 97, but not on
his or her take on the media.
My take on the media is that they recognize an obligation to report on this
as news, but are scared to death to be seen as discrediting the passengers.
The reporting I have seen has been in full kid-glove mode.
My belief is that the media should be given credit for how they have handled
this so far. They are responding to their obligation to report on this,
knowing that no matter how they write it some will see it as attacking the
passengers.
I will repeat my mantra. There is enough real bias in the liberal media. It
is not necessary or helpful to see it all the time, everywhere, in
everything they do.
