Boeing's Blame Game: A History of Shifting Responsibility After Crashes
Boeing has been experiencing high pressure and complications due to accidents and a lack of safety culture. Boeing CEO David Calhoun appeared in an interview with the New York Times in 2020. When asked to accept the blame for the fatal 737 MAX crashes, he avoided answering the question by stating whether U.S. pilots could have avoided them.

Saying AOA = Area of Operation, in this context, renders the author totally incompetent to report on matters of aviation.
They write poorly researched, poorly edited stories just to get click, just for the ad revenue, then self-promote their own stories.
Since Area of Operation would be AOO, the problems might extend beyond matters of aviation.
"When asked to accept the blame…"
It would be funny if it were not so tragically idiotic and expensive. The news media believes—God only knows why—that it has the competence to conduct an air crash investigation, when it doesn't even have the competence to vet its sources and as a result comes up with the poppycock that is to be expected when giving pilots, baggage handlers and anonymous persons credence for their opinions as though they were aero engineers. So, armed with a lot of plausible nonsense—and hubris—they confront a CEO and demand that he accept blame for the crash. When he rightfully refuses because it isn't true, they accuse him of shifting responsibility to others. The ignorant public doesn't have the competence to discern sense from nonsense and swallows the media's story—hook, line and sinker, too lazy to even glance at the glaring evidence that shows quite plainly that the news is fiction And nonsense becomes the de facto truth, with billions of $$$ going up in smoke… all because of a free press that insists on demonstrating that trusting them to run free while maintaining integrity was a really bad mistake.
Apparently FlightAware doesn't have any better "news" than the fiction that an author equipped only with a fascination for airplanes calls adding "creativity" to storytelling.

You say that like there's a viable alternative to a free press.
For the technical example I gave, the alternative was implicit in the comment: get an education—you won't be at the mercy of incompetent fools for analyses and conclusions.
There is and you are on it! Were it not for the ability of internet participants to question "the narrative" of msm, gerbil, zuch', and such why would they be making such overzealous attempts, (lies), to suppress conservative media?
Phony elections might be an appropriate example, or maybe SDNY lawfare ala leticia james intent to destroy CRE, (commercial real estate), belonging to we know who that is hastening the business flight from new york!
Please don't move to TEXAS, we already have enough aliens and Albany is in the process of figuring out what a diminished tax base means. Self inflicted wounds in ny are well deserved!
Cheers!

Yup. Most of the complaints about social media being a cesspool where fake news spawns and the demands to censor it comes from the mainstream media. The reason is two-fold: (1) SM is a formidable competitor, enabled by the internet and computing technology, that has brought the MSM close to extinction, which is why they are so desperately pumping out sensational click-bait. Social media certainly is rife with fake news, but the MSM's disgraceful performance on the 737 MAX is just one example that proves that they do far worse—and are more dangerous to democracy because the lies go undetected. They keep a tight fist over their content and abuse the public's trust in them, suppress any news that doesn't "fit" with their lies, hoodwinking the public—no different from what China and Russia do. And like those countries, they fear social media so much because…(2) SM is the only place where the truth has a chance to surface… and expose the MSM's lies.
Recently, the NTSB Chair tweeted her concerns about the ridiculous amount of sensational news that is being pumped out over aviation incidents that have been occurring all along. She pointed out that there has not been a fatal crash of a U.S. airline since 2009 (one person died in 2018 from an un-contained engine failure) and she asked why there isn't similar outrage and handwringing over the 118 people who die EVERY DAY in automobile accidents in the U.S. Not a single MSM news outlet carried that story.
