Unfortunately, journalists cannot be specialists in everything, so they
often get all sorts of things wrong.


Are you a journalist?


I'm a former journalist with a degree in technical journalism. There is no
part of the curriculum or stylebook pertaining to aviation and at no point
does somebody come up to a student journalist or young reporter and say
"Look, you guys. It's called an engine failure. Not an engine stall..."


I was more referring to his sweeping statement that "They often get all
sorts of things wrong".

As a journalist, I consider you to be qualified to weigh in on this subject.

I suspect the closest thing to journalism that Anthony has done was a book
report on a Hardy Boys mystery.
