Actually Meeks does not feel that general aviation is a threat and has
expressed his views in private to some of us. He writes these articles to
appear to comply with NBC's point of view so that they will be published,
but attempts to make that point of view look ridiculous.


You are savvy enough to see the truth, however the anxiety level of
average Americans will be increased as a result of reading this
article. Their reactions to small airplanes will no longer be one of
delight, but fear and hatred. Mr. Meeks obviously deliberate
omissions of pertinent information unquestionably reveal intentional
bias against GA in the view his article presents.

I canceled my subscription to Time magazine when they ran their
full-page promotional advertisement showing small aircraft juxtaposed
against nuclear generating plant condensation towers with the caption,
"Remember when only environmentalists would have been alarmed by this
photograph?" And I think less of MSNBC as a result of reading this
article.

Trading one's integrity for a few paltry dollars is rather ignoble,
IMO. And he who panders to those in power out of fear of reprisal
does himself more harm than any punishment they may threaten to
inflict.
