RedTiger Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Don't be so apologetic tflash! I don't think your rant or my rant was inappropriate! You make good points. I mentioned the bit about peoples lives because of this very incident. They'll use an incident with deadly results like this because they know people will read it. The media hears "F-15" and "crash" and in their simplistic little world it demands some sort of mention in the news because after all, F-15s are the new hot topic! They do this all the time. News reports are so flavor of the day, it'd be bloody amazing if you didn't know they were out to make a buck off of it. Say 1 year from now all the F-15 problems are fixed. They won't bat an eyelash if one crashes and someone dies. Nope, its only news worthy when its in the public's conciousness.
mvsgas Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Nether of you guys comments where out of place. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
