Is the United Airlines man being smeared in the media even the right David Dao? It shouldn’t matter

United CEO Oscar Munoz

“Doctor dragged off United flight was felon who traded prescription drugs for secret gay sex with patient half his age and took them himself – and he needed anger management, was ‘not forthright’ and had control issues, psychiatrist found,” wrote The Daily Mail this week of Dr David Dao, in probably the longest headline ever written. … Questions have inevitably started to be asked: who dug up those details about David Dao’s apparent medical misdemeanour or the gay sex he supposedly had with a younger man, and why? Did they even check that those details related to the David Dao who was dragged off Flight 3411 in Chicago? There is presently confusion about whether the man on the United flight was actually David Thanh Duc Dao, quite possibly another person entirely to David Anh Duy Dao, the man with the criminal records. —Independent (UK)

  1. Following up… the Courier-Journal and the LA Times are among sources that clarify that there ARE two different men with similar names, both are doctors, and the man dragged off the flight IS the man with the criminal record. While it remains questionable whether the United passenger’s criminal record has any revelence to this story, it is NOT true that the reporter who broke the news botched the facts. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-united-david-dao-20170412-story.html
