It makes me wonder, esp after the media reports on anything aviation related, if they ever have any idea on what they are reporting on at all. We are critical of what they say because this is our area of expertise. My uncle is in the mortgage business and he claims that they have know idea what they are talking about in regards to that. My dad is in agriculture and gets furious when the media talks about that. What's most amusing is when there is any kind of aviation mishap that makes the news, they always call me. My dad will always say "but cnn said this" and it turns into a debate when it should be just me telling him to listen to what facts I have to give him.
If they can't report somewhat accurately on aviation, how can we even believe anything else? Why do we keep watching? Why are we always pointing fingers at who's prefered news organization is more full of sh!t than their own?
