The Media bashing of the V-22 is getting old. The B-58 had more
accidents than the v-22 ever had. Other programs have had troubled

Sure, but how many went decades and billions in development for
roles which are only moderately useful or better done by other
means?

The reason the bashing is getting old is the stubborness of the
program, not unfairness by the media.
