Asiana Pilots

BREAKING: The NTSB has apologized to KTVU in Oakland for those ridiculous names the station aired on its noon news today, as the flight crew of Asiana flight 214. A person identified only as a "summer intern" at NTSB erroneously released the bogus names and the agency "deeply regrets" today's incident. Whoever that college kid is - I'm sure he's now banned for life in government work. Still, the station should have known better.

The intern may have been messing around.  But what idiot actually thought those were there names.  They should have double checked their sources.  Stupid reporter most likely dialed the wrong number and this person kept getting these calls all day. 

I still would blame the media.   But I admit.  I was chuckling to myself when I read it.

Just a little more proof for those who haven't figured it out by now that our media is useless.  In their quest to be first in the 24/7 news cycle these days, they have thrown out all the checks and balances of previous generations of news reporters and editors.  We see it every day in local and national news, and the number of errors has grown so large that they rarely bother to offer retractions when the mistakes are brought to their attention (unless there is a danger of a lawsuit of course).  Very sad state of affairs, but I fully expect it to get much worse when the "twits" take over total control of the media.
