Default ZZZZ EAA SportPilot promotes ANN and Zoom

As a newcomer to GA (and not yet a pilot), I look for information
everywhere. I truly believe there is no such thing as objectivity, that
every report to subjective to a point. You are right, ANN does decide
what to put on their website, and if I had the time, that I could surf
looking for press releases. Did you ever notice that magazines tend to
publish a review of a product, and within a page or two is an ad for that
product? Not random chance. The new Avweb look is dreadful,
generalaviationnew never updates much, ultraflightradio isn't bad, but the
other sites I frequent are even worse. ANN at least puts a lot of effort
into their podcasts, I'll concede that they are subjective, but I find it
easier to listen to something that is subjective than it is to listen to
something that isn't there in the first place.


As a newcomer you really ought to take advice from those that came earlier.
If you want aviation news and don't like AvWeb, (which I think is really
pretty good), then go to Google News Alerts
http://www.google.com/alerts?hl=en and create your own search string for
aviation news.
