Right now 12:38 ET, CNN has on its front page, a crash of an airplane that killed 4 people. 6/5/23

Front Page news. ?????.....Why? is that Front Page news?

Car crashes that kill 4 people do not get front page national news....Do they? ( on CNN?)

Awful editing in my opinion. Just pointing that out.

......................................Not " National News" in my opinion.

..............................No, I am NOT AN EDITOR OF TV NEWS ON THE INTERNET ........................................................

Probably because it was an unusual situation where the plane flew into prohibited airspace Ocelot II Jun 2023 #1

It does if it flew in restricted space and has fighters scrambling.. TreasonousBastard Jun 2023 #2

Resulted in an emergency national security response with two F-16s scrambled in secure air space? hlthe2b Jun 2023 #3

It is very much national news. It flew right into prohibited airspace in D.C. Ocelot II Jun 2023 #5

and was chased by fighter jets? Seems to me that warrants front-page treatment. But if you object be sure to let CNN know.

SO WHAT? "RESTRICTED AIR SPACE" OR WHATEVER.......I have that right and this is the "Media Group."

We have the right to object about "media coverage." in the MEDIA GROUP....Don't We?

The pilot didn't respond. It could have been 9/11 redux, a very big deal. But if you don't think it's of interest because you don't live there and it wouldn't have crashed on your house, please feel free not to read about it.

and point out that when an unresponsive aircraft flies into restricted airspace over D.C. resulting in scrambling F-16s, it's national news. Most of us have not forgotten 9/11.
