Media screws up again...

I work in Civil Engineering and when one of our people don't the
answer,
they ask around to find someone who does. It's not hard, really.

Are their deadlines measured in hours or minutes like pressroom
reporters
are?

When an entire 100 man crew is waiting....yes.

And what is the turnaround time for an average project? Turnaround from an
actual news event to press, or air time, is measured in minutes. And the
population of viewers or readers can be measured in tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands or millions, and the revenue lost if you're behind the
ball can be measured in same.

Here's a more direct approach. The phrase "media screw up again" because
one guy allegedly confused aerodynamic with mechanical stall would be like
the media saying "general aviators screw up again" or that flying is unsafe
because one guy augured.
