CNN exploits the suffering of MH370 and then tells victim's families they're all assholes...

I can't imagine it would be surprising to anyone here that many at CNN probably possess a pathological level of self-heroism when it comes to the MH370 disappearance.

What I find amazing, however, is how quickly this "news organization" turns on the families like a vampire to his next source of sustenance.



Basically, in just four words, CNN has accused the families of being ambulance chasers. CNN possesses no shame.

1. CNN really sucks anymore. Faux Nooz lite.

Avoid.

2. Link to Article on CNN - I didn't get the impression CNN was implying they're "assholes."

The article seems rather straight-forward and in the video the lady even says they're tired of the ambulance-chasing lawyers harassing them to sign up for a suit. Not sure where you got the impress CNN implied the families were being assholes. If anything, the article seems to point out that lawyers are looking for a payday and the families are only looking for answers.

My first thought was "What exactly is the basis for any suit against anyone?" That thought is echoed in the article:

The only problem: No wreckage has been found. It's kind of like a murder case without a body.

"If we don't have the 'black box' with all the critical information on it, or we don't have any part of the wreckage, it would be very hard to maintain a claim against Boeing in any court in the United States," said aviation attorney Daniel Rose, a partner at the firm Kreindler & Kreindler."

4. I'm not seeing it either

I guess one has to accept the premise that anyone who hires a lawyer or files a lawsuit is somehow an "asshole" in order to see whatever the OP is imagining.

5. Ramping up to sue the plane manufacturer when there is zero proof whatsoever....

that the plane was faulty and the cause of the crash isn't exactly something you would do if you WEREN'T a so-called "ambulance chaser."

If what they're after is information, why don't they go to their respective governments (if they are involved in the search and rescue mission)? It doesn't seem Boeing would have much information to offer. I'm pretty sure Boeing isn't really involved with the day-to-day operations of the plane once it's sold, and I doubt they monitor their planes' telemetries in real time. Suing Boeing really doesn't accomplish anything meaningful, so it stands to reason that it would be a move largely motivated by money they think they can win under the American legal system.
