1 person from the airline and 1 person from the govt should have been the only ones talking to the media. Everything else should be proof of just how corrupt some governments are and how the facebook/twitter generation has conditioned people to blindly follow what some people are saying rather than looking at the facts and only the facts themselves. To release the information about the stolen passports before anything is known or to accuse the pilot of being a terrorist because he doesnt vote for the majority dictatorship just give people hope when there is/was likely none to begin with and it should have never been publically released or acknowledged.
I understand its difficult to find any news outlet these days that just provides the facts with clear labels on what is fact and what is speculation and or opinion.

Agreed, the way news is reported (and I use that term loosely), there is no accountability and everyone with a twitter account is deemed a source/reporter.
In my OP, I was only referring to certain people jumping to conclusions when something is reported, but before anything being confirmed by a credible source.
Mind you, these days, it's hard to tell the difference between CNN and TMZ.
