They weren’t. Some of those passengers might have begun their trips in the US, I guess and that was probably where the information came from.

These are the first questions that goes through the mind of the Leftist media before they utter one word on a story:

- How will the truth of this information advance our Leftist agenda?
- If not, now can we modify this into “truth” that will?

yes.

The Russian media is almost totally controlled from the Kremlin these days.

So...the Rooskie media is corrupt, too ?

"Our" media revered and emulated the Soviet state propaganda model with predictable results.

There were never such reports in European press. As far as I remember it was just ABC News that wrote Americans instead of Australians.

And the narrative is laid out between all sources that will be used to shape public opinion to buy their horsecrap.

I am always skeptical when all the ducks in a row are laid out and decided on instantaneously.

There is a truth out there, but I doubt we will ever really get the facts. This will blow over when the next crisis hits. Probably won’t be long. It is nonstop.

CNN will speculate for weeks in order to bypass the other news. LOL Pretty soon they will have a space ship probably done it.

FOX also reported 23 dead Americans. Unconfirmed though.

I’d forgotten about that.
I’m wondering if the baggage had Kuala Lumper to Beijing tags?

RE: The Russian media is almost totally controlled from the Kremlin these days.

Any Russian reporter who tries to report the truth suddenly finds himself or herself DEAD.

The list is so long that I can’t even post it here.

But click on this link to see their names and under what circumstances they died:

You mean like Andrew Breibart and that other journalist in the car crash in California? Our media is almost all run out of the WH anymore.

I am fully aware of all the propaganda news media from almost all countries. You don’t look to them for the truth.

The truth is somewhere between all the lines.

It really wasn’t the media that reported that. The guy bragged about it online before the flight was reported gone.
