There’s only three truths in any newspaper j) The date ii) The price iii) The horosco
There's nothing humble about your opinion Avgas Dinosaur. If you have never tried to report and write a newspaper story you have no right to criticize. If you ask three witnesses to a traffic accident you will get three different versions. A reporter's job is to try to figure out the truth from those different versions and then write it in an interesting fashion so the average reader with a 6th grade education can understand. I write as someone who was a reporter for 10+ years and an editor for 33 years covering everything from traffic accidents to murders to U.S. Presidential elections to finance and investments. Reporters have to have some knowledge about many topics, but rely on experts for detailed information, and they try hard to convey that information accurately. There good reporters and poor reporters, just as I suspect there are good pilots and poor pilots, and good editors and poor editors, but most are trying to do a job that is far more difficult than it appears to the best of their ability.
