Channel 9 has an "aviation expert" from Monash University (sounded like they gave the name as Prof Greg Bamber) prattling on about the King Air being a "single engine aircraft"
I was just watching that....not only was that fool embarrasingly clueless, the questions asked by the TV presenter were classic empty-head-media-personality standard.
Who here doesnt struggle when asked for their professional view of an event by non industry friends and family....especially after the news outlets drag out some expert buffoon like this Greg whatever who 30 seconds into his delivery of aircrash investigation for dummies starts rambling about freeway congestion and building a new rail link to the airfield.
I did once wonder if other professions (law, engineering, science ?) also have expert buffoons available to the media for commentary after major events....and if they did what does that say about the percentage of bull**** in print or broadcast reporting that is swallowed unknowingly and without question by the masses.
A big enough monster in the print and TV media could effectively control and manipulate the general intelligence and world views of the population by feeding the right amount of BS at the right times.....wait what was that about "fake news..?"
