Default another example of bungled news reporting

Yesterday evening the TV news was all a twitter about a Homebuilt
Helicopter that crashed, killing the pilot. News reports were that the
helicopter was built by the pilot................today, we are reading
in the paper (on-line news) the the helicopter was a R-22, hardly a
homebuilt.....but here is the kicker, the pilot took off from a local
airport, and was flying to his house where he had built a helicopter
landing pad.................hardly a home built helicopter.

So................will the TV news folks make a statement correcting
their error, or will the sheep just be allowed to remain frightened of
homebuilt helicopters falling from the sky?

Brad
