#Airplane2014MalaysiaFlight370 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has seemingly disappeared. At first I watched the news from various media sources with some interest. It became increasingly clear that even the few known facts about this event were in doubt with different agencies and countries changing their stories on a daily basis.
It also seems the current trend in news reporting is not to offer known facts without conjecture, but to offer an endless stream of so-called experts who offer up one theory after another. Even to the point of openly arguing with each on the television about what happened, could have happened, might have happened or whatever. Which leads me to doubt the veracity of the credentials that would lead anybody to call them an expert in the first place.
Most genuine experts in a field of science such as computer technology dont openly disagree on the basic functions of the technology in question.
After the first few days my curiosity was replaced with frustration bordering on anger that this story dominated the news of every media outlet with the same people simply repeating the same theories ad nauseam. Even to the point where the same bleach blond fake tan fellow becomes the star expert who never really says anything but seems eminently photogenic as his best asset.
For the past week or more I have been recording the news programs and fast forwarding through literally hours of babble that doesnt add one iota of information to what has been known from the beginning. Unless or until the plane or passengers are found I refuse to watch or listen to the Breaking News.
Just imagine how much real and factual news could be reported if the requirement was to stick to the known facts and minimize the extrapolation and conjecture of so-called experts. If that were the case the news about this missing plane would be reduced to about 5 minutes each day.
