"I recognise that the handling of the media (who always get it wrong) was poor, and that she failed to correct things when the word "solo" appeared. It was not a solo flight and she has expressed her regrets that people were misled."
It was not just the media handling that was poor. She herself has deliberately misled people by saying her flights were solo. You and she cannot just blame the media for getting it wrong when she herself has claimed on different occasions that the flights were solo.
