...that thinks that the press WANT the EgyptAir crash to be terrorism, and are sidelining all other explanations (such as a collision) despite the fact that there will probably be actual evidence recovered before long.

At that altitude, anything they hit should also have been big enough to be noticed that it's missing (or damaged), as with the Gol flt 1907/N600XL collision over Brazil.

(That said, while I suspect it was terrorism I'm waiting for the investigation.)

The trouble is that there is a lot of weird stuff in the sky these days - military aircraft and drones, for example. If something like that was the cause its owners might not want to admit it. Given the lack of anyone claiming "responsibility" and the eagerness with which the press jumped on this bandwagon I'm thinking it's some sort of coverup, possibly just of incompetence servicing the plane, but maybe something like a collision.
