About that missing airplane ...

Yesterday I posted this as my Facebook status: "Imagine all the time and money and human resources devoted to telling the story of one missing airplane. Now imagine what we could have done with it all and what a better world it would be if we had."

Of course, it takes a comedian to show how ridiculous it all is:

And yep, CNN is still at it today:

BREAKING NEWS: MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT 370

Where's the evidence?

Families, experts want proof

One thing's missing from the official version of what happened, say some experts and family members: hard evidence.FULL STORY

• Weather delays search
• How number crunchers figured it out
• Flight 370's flammable cargo
• How recovery works | Passengers
• What wreckage could reveal | Map

And so just look at all the stories NOT being widely covered in the news, but that are featured in sources like Truthout ... these stories are not covered by sources like CNN because they are complex and thus not easily boiled down to soundbites and ridiculous speculation.
