The HN submission was editorialized. The word "broken" doesn't actually appear in the article or the article title, "Boeing is a wake-up call".

The article argues that there's been a change in business culture and mentality over a number of decades: the view that corporations were responsible members of the community has been replaced with the view that "greed is good", and corporations have no purpose other than unmitigated profit maximization. So where do you think the fallacy is? Or are you just focused on the word "broken", which again doesn't appear in the article?

Nope, the article's title itself has been editorialized, it appears. I submitted this with the HN bookmarklet [1], so the submission title is untouched from what it was at that moment in time.

Hmm, interesting. The URL itself does seem to provide evidence for this.

Maybe it's because everyone went crazy over the word "broken", like in these very HN comments LOL.
