This source is an opinion piece from RedState arguing that the New York Times is attempting to shield a female Black Hawk pilot from responsibility for a fatal crash with a commercial jet, despite evidence from a preliminary NTSB report suggesting she ignored crucial instructions from her instructor pilot. The author contends that the mainstream media and elements within the Army are prioritizing political correctness and diversity initiatives over accountability. They highlight the pilot's lower flight hours compared to her instructor and speculate on the reasons the instructor may not have taken over, including potential concerns about challenging a higher-ranking officer. The article also touches on broader systemic issues like air traffic control staffing and the difficulty of maintaining visual separation, but ultimately emphasizes the pilot's actions as the primary cause of the tragedy and laments the loss of life.
