Complylot, whilst Im sure we all enjoyed your tremendously intellectual satire, there is a point to be made. If they can't get this right, or in fact anything in any aviation related story in history right, then how can the media be trusted to accurately report on more serious, complex and nuanced matters?
No its not the end of the world for misstating the make and model of aircraft in this article, but given the frequency of trivial errors such as this then it speaks directly to the credibility of news journalism as it exists today. A lot of people believe wholesale what they see on the news, journalists have a responsibility both professional and ethical to be accurate. I believe they on the whole have abandoned this responsibility and that is something that does matter.
