Another example of fine journalism.

Journalists must think people are really REALLY stupid,
or perhaps just as stupid as they are. I was reading the
CNN article on the guy that got onto the Sky Harbor Airport
while fleeing from police and ran across this one liner,

"The runway is the strip on which aircraft
can take off and land."

I'm sorry, but about the only people who can be forgiven
for not knowing that are akin to some isolated tribe in
the Amazon that's never seen an airplane before.

And to think I get jumped on when I say journalists are
stupid. Not all, but the majority certainly end up looking
that way form what they write.
