ABC News' 'Many Small Plane Crashes...' Story
A good example of very disingenuous aviation news reporting. (www.aero-news.net) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is nothing new.....reporters report on things they know nothing about, get used to it.
The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press has been tracking views of press performance since 1985, and the overall ratings remain quite negative. Fully 66% say news stories often are inaccurate, 77% think that news organizations tend to favor one side, and 80% say news organizations are often influenced by powerful people and organizations. The widely-shared belief that news stories are inaccurate cuts to the press’s core mission: Just 25% say that in general news organizations get the facts straight while 66% say stories are often inaccurate. As recently as four years ago, 39% said news organizations mostly get the facts straight and 53% said stories are often inaccurate."

ABC story on ‘small plane crashes’ flat wrong, AOPA says
The March 18 ABC World News and Nightline story, “Many small plane crashes preventable,” turned a spin awareness flight with aerobatic pilot and 2006 National CFI of the Year Rich Stowell into a sensational, inaccurate segment on general aviation safety.

As pilots we all know that stories like these are full of errors, but if "News" outlets cannot get these relatively simple stories correct, imagine all of the errors in all "News" reporting. Most of what passes for news these days is slanted political propaganda.
Ever since the Networks have bequeathed that the news must make a profit and no longer report just "THE NEWS" this is the kind of crap we can expect to have.
Add the 24 hour news channels to the mix and you have a recipe for garbage media.
