A Case of Malayse 0
Stu Bykofsky is fed up with the coverage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
Talking about the facts, or so-called facts, provides a case study of the weakness of breaking-news journalism, often called the first draft of history. It’s the first draft, not the final draft.
He goes on to compare the coverage to the last days of the TV show Lost (the fascination for which ever escaped me).
He sums up in one column why I avoid broadcast news. It’s become venal voyeurism for vapid viewers, less nutritious than a Hostess Twinkie.
