Yes. Perhaps it is merely reluctance to speak ill of the deceased--at
least publicly.
Perhaps, but I suspect that it's reluctance to admit that many GA pilots
aren't as proficient or don't possess the best judgment--and therefore are
not as safe--as we'd like to believe.

Don't discount the propensity of the media these days to want to
sensationalize news stories. A crash of an airplane by an excellent
pilot is a much bigger story than the crash of an airplane by a
bad pilot.
Seems to me it would be the other way 'round. A rogue is news.
