The media is promoting it. Period.
Why is this story even in the news? - 6 Passengers Kicked Off Plane At LAX Accused Of Being Unruly Claim Discrimination « CBS Los Angeles
You've got one side of the story and nothing else. The cops POV isn't presented, the airline's POV isn't presented and no other passengers have weighed in but a major market "news" outlet decided to push the story anyway. Why would they do that? Where is the journalistic integrity?
I'll tell you why any semblance of journalistic integrity is missing...it's because the "news" outlets are now in the business of fomenting outrage. Outrage sells, bottom line. If these so called journalists can put a story out that starts a Twitter and Facebook frenzy then more people click their page and their advertising opportunities become more attractive.
It's pretty ****ing sad.
