Fortunately, as other media outlets focus on a dead lion, CNN has kept reporting on the search for the wreckage of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Investigators have not confirmed the parts are from the missing flight, but the parts will be covered in serial numbers, and there are only so many missing Boeing 777 air frames. Expect a confirmation shortly.

Interestingly, the location of the wreckage may give the French BEA authority over the MH370 investigation. The ICAO gives the nation where the accident occurred the right of first refusal to conduct the investigation, and every part located so far was found in France. Furthermore, unlike most other nations, France treats aircraft accidents as criminal investigations. With the leading theory behind the accident being pilot murder-suicide, as with the Germanwings Fight 9525 that also crashed in France, this case could become even weirder.

I stopped reading CNN’s website a year ago, and the final straw was a month’s worth of “ NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON MISSING MALAYSIA FLIGHT” in the hugest possible letters across the top of the home page. Literally, for a month. Let me know when there is a development, don’t constantly barrage me with the fact that there isn’t. Also, about that lion...

Kinja'd!!!

Wow. This isn’t even remotely close to the area they’ve been searching, correct? Of course, currents could have carried debris a long way. We probably still won’t know much more than we did before, unless there is evidence of an inflight explosion or decompression, but at least it has debunked the theories that the plane was hijacked and flown to an undisclosed site in the Middle East for use as a terror weapon .

I can 100% see why people are getting worked up. We need to conserve nature, and dentist dude is a colossal dick for turning a majestic creature into a trophy. But is it really front page material for every news publication in the known world?

Arkin left Gawker Media; we don’t have to humor conspiracy theories anymore.

No. Robert Mugabe’s slaughters in Zimbabwe have never received this much concentration of attention.
