Yep. By whomever and whatever reason. It appears that is the case.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane is Missing
I was watching Reliable Sources on CNN this morning and they had a non-Chinese American who works for CCTV where he was asked about Chinese coverage of the missing airliner. Basically he said it was straight forward coverage of what was happening. He was then asked about how much speculation was going in China. He said it was minimal because they're just reporting what comes up during the search but because there has been virtually no evidence of anything weeks later some speculation has crept in but still minimal.
So how is this increasing diplomatic tensions between China and Malaysia as being reported by the Western media? Basically all the bashing of Malaysia on the news is not coming from China. Is this another example of a pattern of exploitation of current events to steer interests one way? Just like it was reported recently that Chinese warships were making incursions into Malaysian waters to which the Malaysians came out reporting it was false?

Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane is Missing
not really the first day the media loves to take small hints of things and try to make it a story with enough word count to land on the paper in hopes and speculations it will either happen or something bigger happen...i think the last thing they really cared about was responsibility or world peace, and the only thing they wanted was hollywood-style explosions and drama so they can have "juicy stories" to put on their front pages.
by now i only take mainstream media as a source of something has happened in this world and "mainstream" attitudes of the uneducated masses towards an issue(unless the writer actually demonstrates coherent arguments, which is like finding treasure in a beach). if i want facts i'd rather read scientific journals or something that demonstrated proper research. actually wikipedia probably has better track record in terms of accuracy and objectiveness than western media these days.

Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane is Missing
NY times article claiming that china´s government was under pressure to show that they were the most productive in the search, and that lead them to make actions that hurted the search
However what this article doesnt mention is that other nations in the search operation also made satellite and aerial claims that lead to nothing. Also AFAIK china has the most satellite assets in this search. The chances of finding false leads are greater than other nations.
It is unsurprising that china doesnt have the sophisticated underwater equipment that the US and australia have. I dont think that china made up that ping discovery. Once again AFAIK, china has the most ships out there in this search. Its not surprising that one of them got some pings, even if they were false. They had to be investigated. And what if they had been found to be the true pings?

Re: Malaysia Airlines Plane is Missing
I just saw a CNN story talking about this New York Times article and they were mocking China. Given nothing has been found to confirm anything, guess whose more sophisticated and advanced technology has failed and found nothing? This is probably more a distraction that their technology has failed to find anything and Western leads involved in the search have proven to be a waste of time. They hid the fact the Australians only detected their pings because they were headed to where the Chinese heard their pings. So is that wasting time? Of course any of these "facts" being reported could be wrong as has been the fact. So who's the one wasting precious time? I wouldn't be surprised that the pings the Australians heard turn out to be false. The media has been giving so much weight to these pings just because the Australians have given so much emphasis to it. Yeah, and they said the same thing about the Digitalglobe satellite pics that spotted debris the Australians used...

I just tried posting a comment on that New York Times article and they just closed it. The New York Times is the King Joffrey of news media. It's time for the New York Times to have their Purple Wedding.

This is not completely surprising. The "final trajectory" of MH370 had always been nothing more than an educated guess. There is a pretty significant chance that they're look in the entirely wrong area.
