Not even the Discovery channel get it right all the time - I often hear complete rubbish coming out of the narrator on Discovery Aviation programs. They also exaggerate all the time in order to make it more exciting. Now if those pro's can't get it right how will the clown at the local rag who covers all news , not just aviation , get it right - or even in perspective??
And as has been said above - how much other news do they misreport......?
