Re: Ferrari F1 Team kicks grieving relatives of Malaysia Air

Post

What a grossly misleading newspaper headline and even worse topic title.

The correct story should have been "Malaysian Airlines finds accommodation for relatives of passengers even though most hotels are already booked."

Of course that isn't sensationalist enough, so we get "Ferrari F1 Team kicks grieving relatives of Malaysia Airline" (OP) or "Families Forced From Hotel By Ferrari F1 Team" (NBC headline). The words "forced" and "kicked" both raise images of the men in red hounding the families out at the point of a fully charged wheel gun.

Have some dignity for those caught up in this disaster, they don't need this faux-hysteria and moral indignation.
