I remember when JFK Jr. crashed, two things struck me funny immediately. I was away from home and Faux News was on the TV. Very soon after the tragedy the Faux anchors repeatedly pushed the idea that JFK Jr. was an arrogant, cocky and unqualified pilot. At the present time, looking back, it seems like they were anxious to plant an explanation in peoples minds as soon as possible to shut down any other potential explanations.
I also found it odd that the FBI warned everyone to stay away from the beach because they were worried about souvenir hunters. I would have understood if they requested people to report any debris that was spotted to the authorities, but to tell them to stay away seemed odd.
At the time I did not follow politics very much, and had no knowledge of Faux News' propaganda tactics. My reaction was organic.
