Piece of crap article from a piece of crap journalist.
Neither of the two articles linked in the O.P. mentioned the passenger's "socialist" politics that I remember - or if they did, it was done in passing. So the event itself obviously IS newsworthy without the needless addition of the political affiliation. [/QUOTE]I think you should interpret Johnny's last question in a different manner - would Morgeruat have posted about this in the "news section" on Ironworks if it was "just" an article about a hijacking that was foiled? As the title and the use of words beg to differ as to what he considered to be the most important aspect of this event...
