I'm still on vacation mode. I'm not near ready enough to dive into the cesspool that is U.S. news and politics. But I do have to post this one about the gullibility of the media.

Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU purportedly learned the names of the flight crew of Asiana flight 214, which crashed last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport...

All anyone had to do was say those names out loud and it would be obvious that someone was punking them. But after 4+ years of obama propaganda being shoved down their/our throats I guess this seemed as reasonable as anything else.

For the record:

The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.

Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.

That's one college kid that has a great sense of humor, but not too much common sense.

Sidenote: our return trip from New Zealand was delayed in LA because there was a ripple effect from the SF crash. Seems that the wrecked plane is still on the runway while the NTSB investigates. Since that particular runway is the main one, and the only one long enough to handle jumbo jets, most international and many domestic flights have been cancelled or delayed. Our flight was coming in from OKC via SFO and was about 2 hours behind schedule. It made all the difference between getting home at 2:00 a.m. vs. 4:00 a.m.

Yawn...
