Hi Steve
You sound surprised that the press could possible put any kind of
sensationalist slant on the truth rather than tell it as it is :-)

Yes;
Typically they come back, only when there is an incident or accident. A
homebuilt crashed here once several years back. A newspaper crew came by
to interview a homebuilder (me) and take some photos of my project in the
garage. I gave them a good deal of information about building and
technique and effort. However when the story came out in the paper you
would have thought they interviewed someone else. It had the slant that I
was a taking my life in my own hands as a risk taker doing such a thing.
The media dives into things with their stories to grab people's attention
rather than to depict the true but sometimes mundane realities of what is
actually the case.
