The Truth About Flight Tracking. How the NY Times Got it Wrong
Since the MH370 disappearance, there's been so much media fixation on how planes are and aren't tracked. Most of the reporting, though, has been erroneous or misleading. Here's an example. (www.askthepilot.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Most of the "media avaition experts" probably still think turbulance is caused by "air pockets."
Aren't we all sick of the media hyping every story for days with no new information given. It seems when TV news (all channels) has a topic then 90% of their broadcast time is taken up with one story with the same details repeated over & over again. Everything else is ignored, but wait new major story & previous story dropped like a dead donkey. Conclusion: modern y-generation (we want it now) news services SUCK & need a hell of a shake up.
After putting in 40 or so years as a newsman (I dislike being called a "journalist," the accusation made many decades ago about college grads starting out on newspapers), I wish I could refute the disgruntled comments made here.

The best reporting is of course the correct reportage. Sources like the NY Times insist on reporting reality and depend on their reporters to follow that rule. But mistakes happen, and newsmen anxious to rise into the upper atmosphere of editorship sometimes fail to open their parachutes on the way down.
The NYT now longer reports the news. The NYT reports a point of view of the news.
