Linear Phase
The mass media is not here to report honest news.  They are here to sell advertising.  Real journalism no longer exists.  I don't care if its fox, msnbc, cnn, or some local network.  They are all crap.


 
Am I a bad person for getting a belly laugh after watching that clip... what morons. Still laughing (sorry)...

@ LP: It never has existed. Pull up some newspapers from the late 1850s... or anytime really. There is nothing new. The same old crap just keeps on working and political campaigns are much more civil than they used to be. You hear about the nastiest campaign ever... not even close to how it used to be. I think politics and the media are intertwined, human nature... believing reporters and news anchors has done a LOT of harm.
This is not posted as political but rather as history.... lest we forget or think that anything has changed.

Well I did not do it, so I can laugh about it. Uptight people do not make a world that is any different than what it is nowadays anyway.

Life's a temporary situation, no need to get overly serious about any of it.

Good to see news stations checking their facts, eh?
 
From KTVU (in Oakland California)



That station will likely fire it's technical crew for that ... but it also tells you that a lot of things that many of these stations are carrying are just stuff they are hording off the Internet that ais disguised as "news" ... and posted immediately without any verification ... and sadly, this was wrong, and some people will likely be gone for it!
 
Sad that the pilots were insulted like that, irresponsibly so, for what would easily have been a mechanical failure, as much as pilot error! But all it takes is a faulty gauge somewhere!

What's as appalling as anything in this is that the news lady was so air-headed that she didn't catch on.  I could see a news announcer starting to read the list and then stop, in horror, and apologize.  But this bimbo just sailed on through, giving her best shot at correct pronunciation.
 
As to the "irresponsible" part, the airline has filed a defamation lawsuit against the station.  I don't have more details than that, but, yeah, some heads are going to roll for the f-up.

Good thing it wasn't an American Airlines flight with Dick Hertz, Mike Hunt, Turner Brown and Ben Dover as the pilots...
