Don't be. As you and others ably argued, AOPA is, amongst its other
roles, a promotional organization that is going to dwell mainly on the
pro-GA (and pro-AOPA) angle of any story. Other than the few "true
believers" who cannot bear any sort of criticism upon AOPA, the rest
of us can treat them with the appropriate mixture of gratitude and
skepticism.

The AOPA stuff is so amateurish and unbelievable that I doubt it will
attract anyone to flying who is not already predisposed to undertaking
what, for the vast majority, is a hobby to be enjoyed when the weather is
good.

I just find it absolutely hysterical when Boyer's people seek to "educate"
the "civilians."
