Default "Why was a plane able to fly over New York?"

It is a fact that the media has always distorted the facts to generate

If it wasn't over-sensationalized no one would bother watching.
The company I work for had a plane crash many years ago in the Midwest
and the media took off and ran whatever they wanted to say with total
disregard
for the family members of some of the crash victims.
It was then that I lost total respect for the media and since then I have
never
intentionally sat down to watch the news.
Living in Florida for most of my life I found that they (media) are also
directly responsible
for most of the persons that choose not to leave the area when a hurricane
is approaching,
due in part to the "cry wolf syndrome" created by them.

So enjoy your life and don't pay them too much attention.

But it's not just the media who are both ignorant and indignant at the
same time...

The bile that is being spewed by politicians is equally toxic but it
has the potential to do far more damage than what the press
prints/airs.

And so long as politicians pander for votes via the media, they are (in
most people's minds) indivisible.

By themselves, the press decrying GA will not bring forth an ADIZ over
NYC, but politicians decrying GA *By Way Of* the media could.
