Stories like this get mileage because the dinosaurs in the media are not merely having their lunch eaten by new communications technologies - they are in complete ignorance of them. I seriously doubt that Boeing has left open an opportunity in such an important product. But if it were true - you'd never know from the wire stories on this subject - they are devoid of even whiffs of jargon that would suggest the writer/editor knew what they were writing about. They swallow stories like this (and "black box voting" hysteria) whole, then regurgitate in simpler terms.

Most modern journalists completely lack basic subject matter knowledge, and in a technical arena, are generally so innumerate they are unable to acquire it.
