Yesterdays televised news reporting (most local stations in the Los Angeles metropolis area, if not the nation) of the sacked Cathay Pacific pilot B-777 flyby, was so horribly miss represented as to throw shame on the media profession.

This story, publicly broadcast to millions, was ripe with over sensationalized and ignorant statements such as " a horribly dangerous stunt" and "of over 300 mph". News footage was then accompanied by video of the slow, high pitched lazy flyby - a media embarrassing contradiction!
