You're suggesting that Journalists suddenly pay attention, fact check and have a measure of integrity when reporting on non aviation stories? I can't think of a single aviation article I've read in many years that got even the basic elements correct.
From this, I think it more than fair to question the credibility of the news sources we're presented with. They have an established pattern of behaviour, what evidence do you provide that this changes depending on subject?
C'mon, stop getting your knickers in a twist, I mean we're talking about an online article of a few paragraphs concerning a minor mishap
I'm aware its trivial, and thats the point. If they can't get the trivial things correct, how can you expect them to get the complicated things correct?
Sorry but I hold the media in very low esteem. Perhaps my bias shines through too brightly.
