That recent Scotsman post does make the point most eloquently about incompetent journalism, which is what was suggested earlier in this thread. If all that was done was to report that the helicopter involved was a Mk 2 Skyranger (when it was not) that is one thing. But this nonsense is of a different order. If they are going to try and do their own accident investigation, it is completely irresponsible to do it in this way. Whilst we do not know what the causes of this terrible accident are, the whole of that article was a tissue of nonsense based on incorrect information that could have been checked fairly easily.


Like VeeAny, I was also inclined to contact the Scotsman to complain about their poor journalism. Before I do, I would be interested to know what response VeeAny gets, if any? Can you report back idc??
