Explain why he or she is a muppet? Do you judge all aircraft incidents on what is written in newspapers with “eye witness” passenger accounts as the primary reference?

The media’s fascination with go-arounds and scaremongering the (uninformed) public needs to be pointed out for what it is.
I get tired of reading BS news articles that examine every facet of a normal flight to sell more papers/get more clicks.
Why a ‘muppet’, our OM says that you should ‘normally’ divert after two missed approaches but at the PiC discretion more attempts can be made. I had a day in DUD a few months ago where it was basically 12 kts tail at both ends, I tried an approach for RWY21 and missed due to wind, tried an approach to RWY03 and missed for the same reason, I then held for 20 mins whilst retaining my diversion gas and landed on the third approach as the wind had settled. I guess I too join the muppet brigade :-)
