Boeing is under increased public awareness, any issues get picked up and amplified by the news.

There's about 100,000 flights a day in the world. Until very recently Boeing was the largest provider of commercial aircraft, and it's still second largest next to airbus. It's basically a duopoly with those two manufacturers providing the vast majority of planes. Even with the small rate of accidents, with so many flights every day involving Boeing planes there's going to be a few.

Editors know anything relating to an airline accident and Boeing right now will get lots of clicks, they just throw that it's a Boeing aircraft in the headline, then bury relevant facts indicating there's really no way this could have anything to do with Boeing quality control in the article. And many of these are about events that happen from time to time anyways but wouldn't normally make any sort of splash in the international news media, so suddenly it feels like you're being bombarded with Boeing news. If the headline writer put GE or Rolls Royce airplane engine fire due to likely accidental bird collision, or Garuda Indonesia airline repair standards are subpar or something, it wouldn't get any clicks.

Ok but how does this stuff keep happening to Boeing planes?

Shit happens to lots of planes. You just hear about the Boeing ones because reporting on them is in vogue.

I recently set up FlightRadar24 to alert me whenever a plane anywhere in the world starts squawking 7700, the emergency code. It’s REMARKABLE how often it happens. At least a few times per day, it seems like. There are well over 100,000 flights every day, and occasionally stuff goes wrong.

(And yet, whenever a fatal commercial air incident occurs it’s global news, because those are still exceptionally rare.)

Airbus has a ton of new planes grounded due to engine failures since before the door blowout. But you won't hear about it because shitting on Boeing is what got clicks instead.
