The truth does not have or takes sides. The function of the press is not to present two views of an event and let the viewer decide which has merit. That Fox News fallacy needs to end. The function of the press is to report on newsworthy events as they happened. If the actions of this person were newsworthy then they would have reported on it at the time.
By reporting on the ‘checkered past’ of this person, the media is choosing to create a new narrative independant of the event being reported on.

And if you’re really disruptive, United will eject you after the plane takes off.

No, they will not do that until they have a patented method for getting the replacement passenger onto the plane in mid-air. Then it will become a standard part of the Ts&Cs and we’ll all need parachutes.

You can bring your own, or you can purchase a parachute from the flight attendants.

At first, they came for the steerage passengers, and I said nothing…

If he had been accused of exchanging drugs for sex on the aircraft, his history from 10 years ago might be relevant. He is currently accused of paying for a seat on the aircraft, arriving early for the flight, of sitting quietly with his wife, and waiting for takeoff. Then of not wanting to give up his seat for someone deemed more important than him.

I don’t get why, after 100+ years of commercial aviation, the airlines:
- Can’t make these policies clear (and I don’t mean a lawyerspeak contract, I mean a simple “In the case of overbooking, here’s our algorithm for bumping passengers”, then
- Enforcing that, uniformly.

Because they have become more mucous covered than tobacco companies. Believe me I know. Dealing with them and the FAA in fighting the crap that NextGen has inflicted on communities across the country I have found that they are crafty manipulative lying SOBs. That goes for ALL of them not just United.

Because the gray areas work in their favor. So they could simplify/clarify they just don’t want to.

Also in United’s past: kicking an autistic girl* off their plane.
*and her mother. Some argue that the mother escalated the situation. I’ll let all y’all decide.

AHA, he was not much more than some sort of crypto-SOCIALIST ! that’s as good as being a communist ! isn’t it?. How can people blame an American company for throwing him off their plane ?.
OP said character assassination, not character defamation. Just because the details about the doctor’s history are true does not make them relevant to this case. Bringing them up is clearly a PR move to get people to dislike the doctor, and thus care less about his mistreatment

It seems like United benefits (somewhat, to whatever extent it’s possible and effective) by pre-conditioning the potential jury pool to see this as a two-sided story.
