CNN seems to be trying to hype up the story. Yesterday it was all about Iranian link terrorism, today seems to be about suicidal pilots. The terrorism angle was paraded by a lot of the reporters and politicians, angling it so Iran was responsible.

I tend to change channels when CNN starts talking about this. For instance, I'm watching the CNN morning show and the guest "co-host" went to a commercial break and said they will discuss the plane. She had this really annoying cutesy bubbly voice and said "what are they using to find this missing plane, you ask?" That voice and cutesy joking tone are disrespectful. This isn't a game. This isn't an episode of Scandal.
Thankfully, Chris Cuomo came from commercial break and gave this story the tone that it deserves. Of course they are still talking about stolen passports because the American media is more inclined to focus on the international politics and terrorist conspiracy aspect.
