Its because Aviation Week's Blog ARES is an advertising channel for EADS! From what I can tell they started "broadcasting" from the show on the 18th.
Since then they've had 7 blog posts. 6 of them favorable to EADS. One that had nothing to do with EADS (it was about a British company).
That's why the boss at Aviation Week had to step in. Looks like he has tons more work to do before he gets a fair and balanced shop over there.
UPDATE:
Aviation Week's coverage of the Paris Air Show is becoming all EADS all the time. This is the latest post. And you wonder why US firms are cautious when talking to Aviation Week? Its
I completely agree. I made the same observation a few weeks ago and Bill basically told me to shut up. It's astonishing the amount of unfiltered EADS spokes drivel that the Ares folks publish without commentary or analysis.
ReplyDeleteRafale and EF-2000 have been huge embarrassments over Libya and yet the Ares folks treat Rafale and Eurofighter's claims for future enhancements as gospel! Sad..just sad
well the Rafale and eurofighter are good aircraft once all the air defenses and threats have been taken out and all you need is a bomb truck that can refuel in the air :)
