Really, Washington Post? Its three weeks since Flight 370 went - TopicsExpress



          

Really, Washington Post? Its three weeks since Flight 370 went down. Who is racing? You mean two or more nations are competing to find it first? No. You mean it is a race against time to find survivors? No. Perhaps it is a race to find debris before it sinks? No. Perhaps this is Jeff Bezos tabloid-like way of boosting eyeballs (and ad revenue, and profits) -- because every study shows that race metaphors attract the reading publics attention. They also dumb down the news and turn it into over-simplistic junk. Not that the WaPo or Bezos is alone in this.
