Reading the headlines, I would have no idea what happened yesterday at the SpaceX launch
#1
Go ahead, do it yourself. I'll wait.

What did MSN say?

What about NPR?

Are they about the same topic? I think so.

Do they draw the same conclusions? Keep in mind, this is about a physical object and its capabilities. Anything stated CAN be fact-checked.

Quite the contrary.

As someone who watched the event live and from two different feeds with experts, I feel comfortable making the observation that MSN was literally selling an entirely inaccurate (in terms of context) view of the launch yesterday.

NPR did a great job, explaining the mission and that the launch achieved all key goals. But that there is more to be designed and tested before the launch system is ready for real payloads.

I've come to the conclusion, and posting here, that this is as clear a tangible example of the dollars-for-clicks dramatically changing news as covered by modern commercial agencies.

I sure hope NPR is going to stick around, I will be doubling my annual contribution!
