Much more often than not, such reporting is highly sensationalized including factual distortions, misrepresentations and misinformation of what is or what is not known, opinion masquerading as fact and outrageous falsehoods. All of which leaves a highly negative impression in the minds of the non-flying public and another undeserved black mark on GA. By the time all the well investigated facts and truths are known and documented, the media is long gone from the story and those findings go unreported. Good luck with your speech.
