Do those posters above who use the word “paranoid” believe that it applies to the technical reporters at the BBC, The Guardian and Reuters,
In a word, yes.
Judging by the inept reporting standards of much of the media when "reporting" aviation news, I think any regular readers of these forums place very little faith in the journalists ability to report anything technical with any degree of accuracy.
If aviation professionals and enthusiasts who really do know their own subject see regular and frequent howlers in the media on aviation topics, why should they have more faith in the reporting of other areas?
