Unhappy BBC lies about 1900 crash !

I have just watched the BBC World news report on the unfortunate 1900 crash in the US. The BBC correspondent, a "Katty Kay" reporting from Washington described the incident "as a frequent problem" and said that "there is a lot of trouble with this type of aircraft".
I watched this "news" item absolutly agast. How can journalists lie so blatantly with a straight face?
They then went on to debate the merits of gounding all such aircraft!
I then turned over to CNN to hear a much more balanced and factual account of the accident.
Let us pray for the unfortunate victims and their families and hope that the NTSB come to a speedy conclusion so as to avert this happening again.
Any 1900 jocks out there see the same broadcast?
