Like you say, the media is currently having a field day for clicks over anything they can say is a "further setback for Boeing". This, the Atlas 747 engine fire, Secretary of State's airplane breaking on the ground (that was a 737) requiring him to change planes (oh the horror). These people are absolute morons, whether the topic is aviation, or anything else. And their polling seems to consist of asking their friend or roommate what they think about any given topic. But anyway, there is a difference between a legitimate manufacturing defect, and items just wearing out or breaking while in service. We all know this, but fortunately for clickbait media, the public does not.
