No, as I said it WOULD make the news, obviously. But usually they wouldn’t lead with the aircraft manufacturer in the title. News outlets are really only doing that because Boeing is a ‘hot topic’.

Most people really don’t know or care what brand or type of plane they’re flying on. Heck, most news outlets can’t tell a Boeing 747 from a Piper Cub. But every Boeing incident is now guaranteed to get clicks.

Incidents like this now make the news with ‘Another Boeing…’ when usually the media would report ‘Aircraft diverted…’ and not even mention the aircraft type until the second paragraph in. Every Boeing incident now gets put under a magnifying glass.

You're being disingenuous. You're saying here that it shouldn't make the news under the brand "Boeing", clearly.

I disagree. I believe Boeing is earning their reputation at this point. They deserve to reap what they sew.

Why? Well... Watch this: https://youtu.be/Q8oCilY4szc
