Media is first and foremost interested in shock value, and facts cannot get in the way. The erroneous headlines about airliner incidents can no longer be attributed to unfamiliarity with aviation, no one's that dumb, so it has to be willful. This aircraft did not "slide past gate" nor did it "skid off its runway". The pilot's voice can be heard reporting braking action nil. So deceleration and stop had to be performed with reverse thrust. End of story. Anything to grab a headline.
