Holy journalism Batman.
2 planes clipped wings at ORD. An ANA 777 and a Delta 717.
But look at the wording of this article…
abcnews.go.com
A plane taxiing for departure clipped another aircraft at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Sunday evening, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday.
No injuries were reported, both planes were of Boeing design, and the FAA says it will investigate the incident.
American aircraft manufacturer Boeing faces increasing scrutiny following a series of mechanical failures and subsequent grounding of its Boeing 737 Max 9 model after an emergency exit door failed and caused an emergency landing last week. It was not immediately clear what caused the incident on Sunday and whether it was related to a manufacturing flaw.

Honestly, what a f***king crock. This is what happens when you let children right out of college write online articles. The amount of glaring spelling and grammatical errors in (legitimate) online media alone, should be a red flag for anyone. It's pathetic

I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again. These errors/flagrant stuff we catch in aviation articles because this is our area of expertise.
So what else am I reading about fields I don’t know, that has the journalism equivalence to this kind of crap?

Actually, ABC is correct. The planes collided because of a design flaw. The 777 was heard telling a police officer, that it didn’t recognize the 717 as a real Boeing and it had an issue with its nemesis McDonnell Douglas…

Wait, is CC criticizing a click bait article?
Irony is dead.
If what you link to is what you read in actual life, you need to think about how crappy this article is and extrapolate that to your general perception to the world as delivered by the daily mail and NY Post.

My pet peeve, and it happens a lot nowadays, is when a journalist states as fact, things that are still open for debate/subjective opinions. It is one thing to do this in opinion pieces/op-ed's, but that is not what I am talking about.

Fair enough, but this is happening elsewhere too. Sensationalism, catering to a perceived audience or market, either way they are selling a product. Doesn't really matter if it is factually correct.

No. This was ABC News. Not DM or NY Post.
I read DM and NY Post with a grain of salt. And thanks to steveC, I do search for the news in question elsewhere to make sure it’s legit.
I mean yeah first jobs in journalism start somewhere, kind of on ABC for just ripping it off the AP wire and broadcasting it without editing but everyone is too lazy in the quest for clicks

I think it’s greater evidence that there is truth to the criticism on them cutting back staffs to become less about solid journalism and more about production of articles to generate clicks and therefor add revenue.
Be interesting to see a timeline year to year or decade to decade showing positions and staff sizes of say a half dozen newspapers, news rooms, local vs international, etc. like how many eyes have seen articles before production when my public school ass is picking out clear spelling and grammar errors.

the article was written by the journalistic equivalent of an Americorps volunteer that got sent to the AP, ABC probably just publishes whatever garbage pops up on there because they don’t want to pay journalists and will just use whatever some college grad that is working for a nonprofit being paid with taxpayer dollars puts out there

Yeah I mean I understand the "why". But there should be someone acting as an editor, and as a sanity check, within those organizations. It seems the news is produced too quickly now for it to matter. Maybe I'm just "old guy yelling at cloud" here
As an aside, my hometown newspaper, which was once a pretty large organization and an institution of many decades......apparently has been all but eliminated in the last couple years, save a few folks who work in a satellite office in a different city, as compilers and "editors" (of nothing). And it is basically all just AP news. Gone are all the local news stories that aren't otherwise covered in national news. I don't even think they have a "letters to the editor" anymore. Which was my favorite idiot spotting venue prior to social media. It's actually really depressing to see.
then I too am an old guy yelling at a cloud
journalism as a business has mostly been a dead end for information on a local scale since the 08 financial crisis, every local paper has been bought by a large corp/hedge fund and downsized and smashed into oblivion
that we let this happen and watched our only relevant news sources (let's face it, national news has little effect on your day to day compared to local stories) die on the vine while we click on DailyMail banner ads is one of the greatest societal failures in the last 35 years

I tell myself the opposite the last few months when I’ve put in for a full or partial leave. “Can’t do this on year 2 pay!”
One of the news "blogs" said something about Boeing stock being sharply lower after a collision in Chicago.
Holy weird correlation, batman!

I wonder how many of the people out there complaining about the decline of local news stopped subscribing to their local newspaper about the time you started being able to find “news” for free on the interwebz.
I pay for three, but I do online delivery.
My hometown paper has kaput this year, though. I don't think my former hometown people realize that Google isn't going to send a crack team of reporters to Tulare to cover who is headlining the town parade.
