The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Boeing's $35.8 million verdict highlights long-overdue accountability for corporate negligence that killed 346 innocent people. The company deceived regulators about deadly flight-control systems and created preventable tragedies through fraud and cover-ups. Justice demands Boeing face consequences for prioritizing profits over passenger safety.

Pro-establishment narrative

Boeing has responsibly settled over 90% of civil lawsuits and paid billions in compensation while respecting families' rights to pursue court trials. The company expressed genuine condolences and has invested heavily in safety improvements following the tragic accidents. Boeing's comprehensive response demonstrates corporate accountability.
