the Sonntagszeitung (owned by the Tagesanzeiger) was in fact (the only newspaper in Switzerland) heavily criticizing/questioning Swissair (and also on the side of the only banking analyst from the Credit Swiss Groupe who came to very negativ conclusions about the no-future of Swissair 2 years ago, that banking analyst then lost his job after Swissair intervened with CS' CEO Mühlemann who was a Swiss board member too ...) and their management for years (Partially may be, because Swissair was headed from 1999 to 2001 by President of the board Honegger who also was, at the same time, President of the largest competing newspaper 'Neue Zürcher Zeitung').

Any oldtimer on FlyerTalk knows that I, for over 8 years now, didn't fly Swissair at all on paid tickets (only awards from my credit-card miles) - for very personal (family related) reasons.
