How many times have we seen stories in the media about aviation-related issues or incidents - and seen how many times the media have either got it totally wrong, over-sensationalised it, or more importantly, misconstrued key facts of importance?
(I really should source a couple of articles to back up this statement - shouldn't be too hard)
It wouldn't be a bad assumption to believe that this quality of reporting is repeated across all sectors - including financial.
Take the media with a pinch of salt.
