Australia's Nine Network censored the reports of the crash of the Air France jet because its news bulletin was sponsored by Quantas.
That's according to the Mumbrella site which wrote that
The network’s first bulletin of the day had no mention of the disappearance of the flight off the coast of Brazil, despite it being a major story in other Australian media.
Because a recording of the programme is also shown on Qantas flights throughout that day, Nine took the decision not to tell TV viewers about the disaster.
A spokesman for Nine sent a brief email to Mumbrella saying: “We never report news involving plane incidents on Qantas in flight news bulletins.”
