... Pilots do not hold themselves out as sources of accurate information as a vocation; journalists do. Journalists are a source of accurate information if "sheeple" allow them to be. However, unless a story hits really close to home, "sheeple" don't care. We bridle at terms like "the engine stalled and the plane crashed" beacause we know better. The majority of "sheeple" could care less. I confess that I get "sheeple-ish" and "MEGO" (my eyes glaze over) when the news turns to stories on The Fed, or international monetary polices, etc... IMO, it boils down to two main factors: 1) Usenet is narrowcasting at it's absolute narrowest. 2) TV news is broadcasting at it's absolute broadest. Never the twain shall meet.
