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.
