Alt Flaps
I often despair of the inability of some journalists to get facts correct, or to even check those facts. Not just restricted to the journos writing the piece, but the sub editors as well.
To be fair to Ian, he is always upfront about who he is and what his intentions are. There are plenty 'professionals' on here who whinge about the professionalism of journalists, no doubt you are amongst this number.
Surely even you can see how contradictory it is to lambast the ethics of journalists who do not write factually (many lurk on PPRuNe pretending to be something they are not), yet give a journalist like Ian (who is trying to be upfront and honest) a hard time?
You can't have it both ways!
