Two different types of media, and they should be held to two different types of standards. In entertainment media I'm willing to give them a lot of slack. Maybe not mid-air aircraft type changes, but I don't expect everything to be 100% factual (unless it's a documentary, or something of that nature.)
The news media, on the other hand, needs to be held to much higher level standards. I expect (and thus am constantly disappointed) a news organizations reports to be fair, accurate, unbiased and completely factual.
Yeah, I know I have a better chance of hitting the lottery three times in one day, but, damnit, they have a responsibility to the public to meet those standards.

The problem is when the news media (Who What When Where Why) confuses itself with the entertainment (Ooh Twinky) media.
They ignore their responsibility in so many ways... It is about making it sound exciting so they get better advertising dollars...
Exactly.
Only thing is, then it ceases to be "news" and is just another video. That means the media just isn't doing its job of informing the public, rather, it's attempting to entertain the public. Boooooooo!
You're right. The movie Airplane! was quite unrealistic...
