The b******* the write the stories aren't interested in the truth, just their version.
Almost right - what you mean is they aren't interested in the truth, just selling papers through hysterical innaccurate reporting.
It is important in my view to report what the press are reporting, especially if the reporting is deeply innaccurate - as the purpose of this forum is to discuss issues that may affect the jobs or lives of professional pilots. This kind of reporting affects they way the industry is perceived by the public, so necessarily affects the job.
