I saw the story on BBC Online and thought, zoom lens, 1000 feet separation etc etc. bet Pprune has a thread putting it all to rights this very minute, and there you were. Like I said, we're not all stupid and we're not all liars and what you think is a non-story is not necessarily just that. You forget, you have the benefit of years of experience in your chosen profession but how many of you read papers, watch the news to get information on things you know nothing about? Most of you.
If you think EVERY story is fabrication or an outright lie made up by imbeciles then I feel sorry for you. I thought journalists were cynical.
Don't worry about posting a reply. If I continue to read this thread I'll be so very sad, angry and, believe it or not, hurt that I won't be able to continue reading this fine site (even with all it's utter contempt for the gutter *yawn* press). What a shame that will be.
