Everybody trash talks journalists for not knowing as much as they do about
whatever field of expertise they are in. See my point? Yet they still
read the papers, still watch the news...


Yeah, but I read the papers and watch the news with the knowledge the
reporter probably got it wrong.



Yeah, and so is flying.


Lousy pilots weed themselves out eventually. Lousy reporters keep on
reporting.



Have any of you written reporters to correct them, or do you just
complain?


I write frequently, I sometimes receive a response, I have yet to see a
correction in print. Getting the story is far more important than getting
the story right. That's the state of journalism today.
