CBS News Piece

My aircraft is based at Eagles Nest. I wasn't there when CBS was there,
but
I spoke with John the next day, before the story aired. Here are the
facts
as I know them.

CBS set this up a couple weeks back, saying they were doing a story on air
parks. It wasn't until they arrived that they said they were doing a
story
on poor security in General Aviation.

Everything John said defending General Aviation was edited out. There
were
no pictures of the large gate out front with the usual "Pilots and
Passengers Only Beyond This Point" sign.

CBS told their story with voice overs, and the interview with the
(ex-NTSB?)
employee.

This "story" isn't representative of Eagles Nest, air parks, or General
Aviation.

It is, unfortunately, characteristic of what we get fed as "news" nowadays
by the media. It is sickening, but as long as it brings in big profits
for
the media outlets, this is probably what we will continue to get.

Thanks for clearing things up Paul.
I figured as much. In my past experience with the media, I have found that
they are there to make their own story using real people but their own
fabricated facts.
