Oooooooh! Touchy touchy!
Perhaps you should be less holier-than-thou yourself KC! The reason 'professional' journos get such a hard time on this forum is that at least 99% of the time the stuff your colleagues write is complete and utter garbage, without so much as a nod in the direction of truth. Thats not just the red-top tabloids, I also include the nonsense we often hear from certain rent-a-quote 'experts' representing 'industry journals' we regularly see on TV. Its not that they try to get it right and fail, its that they just don't care. Perhaps you are the diamond in the dungheap who is informed, conscientious and wishes to report facts in non-sensational ways, but you really are in a tiny minority in the UK. If the professional aviation community operated to the same lax degree that your profession operates then you really would have the 'one major accident per week' scenario they are so keen to predict.
