The extremes of either end of the F-35 appreciation spectrum are just as toxic so CM is spot on. But, I have to say, the lengths and language that people have gone to in order to decry a straightforward trans-Atlantic trail indicate just how visceral the campaign is to find fault with this aircraft or its media reporting, in every conceivable way.
It really is quite revealing.
Trial by media doesn't even cover it. I suppose you can blame the
PR machine for "bigging up" the event so much. However, it has revealed more in the backlash IMHO.
