Asian features
The reporting of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has been a bit of a mess as journalists cobble together stories from a muddle of misinformation, theories and rumour.
One of the messiest pieces of the puzzle has been what the owners of the stolen passports on board the MH370 look like.
Singapore Press Holdings first reported that they have ‘Asian features’.
And then that they don’t…
And then the Malaysian Insider reported that they do – they are Iranian. And last time Dr Mumbo checked, Iranians are Asians, too.
It’s been a horrible few days for the family and friends of the passengers on board flight MH370. And a fairly dreary week for journalism too.
