My point was that some people in here are a little paranoid about media
Maybe the media in Australia are whiter than the driven snow and care about facts, well in the UK they don't. The BBC have recently done a number of hatchet jobs using a very selective few quotes from this forum, as have a number of 'news' papers.
I am not paraniod about the media as paranoia suggests an irrational fear. I KNOW the media are lying bottom feeding scum in the UK and have frequently acted to confirm that diagnosis.
Most of our media already have an editorial stance, and they don't care what the facts are, they will just invent some rubbish to make the story fit the conclusion they've already reached. Unfortunately for us, for some reason aviation is in the middle of a really nasty smear campagin in the UK and the most powerful media outlets (BBC and a number of mainstream papers) have a real anti-aviation stance, usually on some very bogus environmental grounds.
