Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators. This Magazine/Community is not affiliated with Improve The News and is an unofficial repository of the information posted there.

  • Following an incident on Sunday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation after a Southwest Airlines aircraft suffered damage to one of its wing flaps due to the detachment of an engine cowling on a Boeing 737-800. BBC News (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Passengers could see the engine cover ripped apart, with a torn Southwest emblem blowing in the wind. Passengers watched as the cover was being pulled off and flew over the plane's wing. Evening Standard
  • This was just one of several reported safety concerns for the Boeing 737 model. The latest incident took place at 10.3K ft (3.14K m) without any injuries, and the Houston-bound Southwest flight 3695 was able to return to Denver International Airport safely shortly after takeoff. Guardian (LR: 2 CP: 5)
  • After the incident, Southwest Airlines released a statement confirming that it was in charge of the aircraft's maintenance and that one of its crews would inspect the aircraft. The company said that customer and staff safety comes first at all times. BBC News (LR: 3 CP: 5)
  • Boeing declined to answer questions. According to the FAA, the plane has been in service since June 2015 and is the third generation of the 737 NG. The 737 MAX replaced the model. France 24

Narrative A:

  • The foundation of every aircraft business is safety. Boeing has received great criticism as the airplane manufacturer has been involved in numerous incidents lately. So far, we know that the responsibility for the maintenance of Southwest Flight 3695 lies with Southwest Airlines. The FAA investigation will find out what happened and where the responsibility lies. Luckily, no one was hurt, and all passengers could land safely.

Narrative B:

  • Boeing is again under scrutiny after Sunday's incident. The company is under investigation after fatal Boeing 737 MAX accidents in 2018 and 2019. and the US Department of Justice is currently investigating Alaska Airlines' Boeing 737 Max mid-flight rupture. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is rightly auditing Boeing and the the litany of serious issues continues to rack up.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 50% chance that the next commercial supersonic flight will occur by November 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
