Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Bad news reporting - correction request Hi Anthony, I used to post gliding accidents I came across from my various news sources until somebody on the list accused me of being prurient. So don’t do it too often.

Anything that falls out of the sky represents headlines to them and they are not interested in letting any facts get in the way of their story. All segments of aviation, GA, RAAus, GFA etc. get tarnished with the same brush when anything falls out of the sky – after all, we are all crazy to be pursuing such unnatural dangerous activities. Trying to correct them will only put them off side – I suggest you not bother! Furthermore, be very careful about anything you might say to a journalist if interviewed about an adverse incident and never express an opinion. It will be misconstrued.
