Completely wrong. The media will not air rational responses from pilots or
anybody else. 'Experts' are hand-picked to promote the reporters' agenda.

I have dealt with the media for more than 30 years. They have *never* in all
that time retracted anything they had to say or aired anything that
contradicted their point of view.

There is no opportunity to correct the record.
