Ahhh, another case of a little person with a little power and a huge Napoleon complex.
"Sam" will win this one - by being the opposite of the purser - polite.
Especially now that the media is involved.
aeroexplorer is not the media.
"Media" is the plural of "medium" a means of transmitting something.
In this case information, the thing you and I would not now be discussing UNLESS a medium had transmitted said info.
Hopefully you don't think that if it isn't on an alphabet network, it doesn't exist.
Long gone are the days of 3 TV networks and a captive society of media slaves.
So yeah Aeroxplorer is media.
"AeroXplorer (previously TheExplorerBlog) is an aviation photography and news source based in Washington, D.C."

They have no reporters, conduct no interviews, do no research, are not otherwise involved in the aviation industry in any way. They do not host, sponsor or participate in any aviation or media industry expos, trade shows or events and for not generate so much as a single letter of original content. They instead copy and reprint or sometimes slightly reword stories and information from other media sources, without giving any credit to the sources - and dump it into a website that is absolutely drowning in unrelated, embedded, inline advertisements to the point that it makes their 'article' almost unnavigable for some people. The links to those 'articles' are then spammed on aviation fora like this one by a handful of posting accounts which excessively post squawks (links) only going to aeroxplorer.
So you can call it anything you like - regardless of the medium it is conveyed over - but don't you dare call it "the media".
It's an advertising hub used to generate revenue, and nothing more.

It's a good thing that what you call media isn't in the business of generating revenue. :)
...and it is ipso facto media. Don't you dare say it isn't. ;)
Oh it is - but there is a very clear distinction between a revenue-generating "aggregator" (and I use that term just as loosely as "media" when it comes to aeroxplorer) and an actual news agency which sells ad space.
Sorry - "which exclusively post squawks to aeroxplorer". But I guess excessively works too, lol.
If you insist that an aggregator of media (newspapers both digital and print will use for instance Reuters or AP) isn't media, we'll have to disagree.
But however you wish to see it, we are talking about it because of Aeroxplorer which in turn makes it more likely that the Airline in question will hear the story and act on it using the PR aspect of their industry to mitigate the damage.
Additionally, what is a woman?

My mother.
Anyhow - neither the airline nor the aviation industries have aeroxplorer very high on their read list. Actual major and industry media outlets are far higher on the list - and contain the same material that aeroxplorer is stealing their reprints from - and often done in a far less clickbaity fashion.

Nobody is forcing you to be here. And should you decide to leave, you will not be missed, so don't continue to post on our account.
Certainly but WE are reading Aeroxplorer and WE are the customers.
I'm sure the article aggregated or not generated at least a few protests and that is the kind of exposure the airlines (or any service provider) dislikes but nonetheless to which it responds.
Hi to your mom that while I'm sure is a wonderful upstanding and loving person nevertheless does not embody ALL womanhood.
I was going for the heretofore unexceptional yet currently radical definition, adult human female.
Cheers.

She's long gone, and yes - she did embody womanhood... everything it was ever intended to be by God, science and biology, not what it has been radicalized into. But that's another discussion, not at all suitable for this venue.
Aviation industry trade media (read: NOT aggregators) and mainstream media will generate far more exposure and protest than aeroxplorer ever will, even on its best day.
YOU are only reading aeroxplorer because YOU keep clicking the link spam back to it being posted here on this forum by literally only 2 people... correction - accounts (Ejaaz Cadinouche, Dan Mena). WE are not reading it, and neither of us are the customers. Their customers are their advertisers, and if you think you are their customer and if you are reading their 'articles' - then not only are you with the wrong understanding and perspective as to what your purpose is on aeroxplorer (you are a revenue generator... and in reality - an un-paid employee), but you are also not getting the full or correct story for any of the 'articles' there which you read. You are actually perpetuating the problem in your blindness by having fallen victim to the ruse and are trying to give them validity in the media realm in the process. This doesn't make you a customer, and in fact it doesn't even make you an un-paid employee. It makes you a pawn.
Now, the content you are reading there is all reprinted (often times only in part) from other actual sources, and with no credit given to those sources. But - they are easily locatable and if you want the full story for literally ANYTHING you see linked here in FA back to their site - a quick google search will yield the legitimate results and sources (read: NOT aeroxplorer).

I am grateful to the medium Aeroxplorer for initiating this conversation with your esteemed self regardless the means. :)
