The problem with the media is they screw up the information they're reporting on. And the only motive seems to be to make the story more exciting.
If you're a pilot, all the aviation stories are wrong.
If you're a doctor, all the medical stories are wrong.
If you're a gun owner, all the gun details are wrong.
If you're a computer professional, all the computer details are wrong.
One time there was an article about how 2% of the US's land could be turned into windmill farms so that nuclear reactors could be eliminated. 2% !?!?! An average sized US state turned into windmills!?!?!
These are just the ones I know. I'm sure everything else is crap too, at this point.
