They said this...

Promising safety overhaul

VS
...but then did this

Keeping leadership that caused the crisis

The contradiction: Different words, same people, same outcome.

Summary

The FAA's own audit found Boeing was allowed to police itself. Both aerospace and media outlets share the same institutional owners (BlackRock, Vanguard).

Key Facts

  • Boeing 'self-certified' its own safety on 737 MAX.
  • BlackRock/Vanguard own significant stakes in Boeing, AP, and NYT parent cos.
  • FAA audit delayed until after midterms.
