Next time you want to jump on the bashing bandwagon when a particular
journalist shows a lack of knowledge in a field you know well, look at
his or her last few assignments and see if you know as much about
those areas as the journalist.

P.S. None of this is intended in any way to deny the existence of
dimwits in journalism.

I agree with you 100%. There are dimwits, there are talking heads, there
are journalists who are gravely unaware of their own bias or ignorance.

Journalists don't fly airplanes into houses, fly into the sides of
mountains, get disoriented in clouds, buzz friends and auger into trees and
do all the things that -some pilots- do.

We as aviators would not tolerate the idea that because -some- pilots are
careless or undertrained or incompetent that -all- pilots are as a whole. As
a matter of personal integrity I cannot tolerate the same applied to
journalism.
