There are few things that get CNN as excited as a missing plane.
In fact one of the station’s top reporters, Don Lemon, received a DART Award from Columbia Journalism Review for some of the worst journalism of 2014 in part for postulating that Malaysia Flight 370 — which disappeared in March — may have been swallowed by a black hole.
So in light of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 going missing Sunday, the Twitterverse is begging CNN to not go into a missing flight frenzy this time.
AirAsia Flight 8501 has lost contact with air traffic control in Jakarta, Indonesia, the airline says. http://t.co/qLbFpfIZV1

@omerwahaj What if Malaysia’s airspace has suddenly created another nasty triangular plane-eater? @HawkesBay @AsNr80

Nothing says aviation expert like tying a rope to your genitals.

Fear not. Lemon is on it.
How many times can @cnnbrk @CNN report that a plane went down? Is there not any other news, instead of saying the same thing over & over!

Can’t wait to see @CNN play with holograms and toy-sized airplanes nonstop for the next 2 weeks #QZ8501
