US Media On Air India Crash: Is US Media Covering For Boeing?

The US media's handling of the Air India 787 crash has sparked controversy, with many questioning whether they're covering up for Boeing. The Wall Street Journal's premature verdict, citing anonymous US officials, has been particularly contentious. By blaming the Indian pilots without conclusive evidence, the WSJ's narrative seems to be engineered to deflect attention from Boeing's potential culpability. This pattern of protection is consistent with Boeing's history of dodging blame, and the company's significant lobbying efforts have raised concerns about its influence on regulatory bodies. As the investigation continues, it's essential to scrutinise the media's role in shaping public perception and ensure that accountability is not denied. Shiv Aroor's deep dive into the same.
