The article discusses the responsible media coverage following a tragic plane crash involving an American Airlines passenger plane and a U.S. Army helicopter. It emphasizes how reputable news outlets focused on facts and expert analysis while avoiding speculative narratives. The piece contrasts this with comments made by President Trump, who prematurely assigned blame without evidence. The author notes the careful approach adopted by media organizations, which is essential given that investigations into the incident are ongoing and that reckless commentary could mislead the public.
One thing that has been noticeable about the media's coverage of the horrific plane crash Wednesday night is how responsible and prudent most of it has been.
They've used extreme caution when trying to determine exactly what happened, not wanting to irresponsibly mislead the public considering it likely will be weeks, if not months, before the full details come to light.
The coverage - especially from responsible news outlets - has been heavy on facts and expert analysis and light on speculation and finger-pointing.
The same cannot be said for the president of the United States.
