How did the media attempt to connect the Toronto plane crash to Trump and Musk despite evidence suggesting pilot error?
According to Ben Shapiro, despite evidence pointing to pilot error in the Toronto plane crash, media outlets like NBC News immediately tried to attribute blame to the Trump administration and Elon Musk. Shapiro criticizes this as an example of media's tendency to politicize incidents and scapegoat public figures regardless of clear contradicting evidence. The transcript highlights how this Canadian incident was used to raise concerns about FAA staffing and air traffic control, despite the crash occurring under Canadian authority. Shapiro points out the irony in blaming American political figures for an aviation incident that occurred in Canada and was likely caused by pilot error rather than regulatory failings.
