Calling Church Fenton an airport at present is a stretch, although there are plans for airline services and it has accepted airliners in the past (albeit pleasure flights to airshows).
Also, it is true that LBA is a constrained, imperfect site and if starting from scratch Church Fenton would probably be a better location.
But we aren't starting from scratch and many people have challenged the ideas put forward by LA - most recently by Mr Simpson.
Personally I find the "Yorkshire deserves better" rhetoric a bit grating, but the future of Leeds East is an interesting topic deserving discussion and it is 'disappointing' the level of abuse this thread has descended to.
