That's what you get when you watch Fox . . . sorry, I meant Faux. Go ahead and blame it on the airline. One more botched job by the media.

Fox News. Clear, Credible, Complete my @$$!

Why are you picking on FOX? Their reporting is no more slanted or inaccurate than what is presented by any other of the networks. And face it, when it comes to aviation reporting none of them get it right on a consistent basis.

And yes, I do watch FOX.

Man, that's a big turboprop.
Who flies Q400s for United? I thought Mesa only flies -200s.

None of the other prominent US networks made such a big deal of this issue. Plus, FOX has a habit of distorting stories far more and far worse than any other US network.

I prefer the BBC, because it offers a detached perspective of events in the USA.

FOX is notorious for being more slanted than any other news agency in the US (e.g., the "fake memos" incident to claims that US troops are targeting journalists.) Plus, it is completely politically biased, and so only presents one side of each issue.

They are all biased.... I will take Fox over the Communist New Network ( CNN ) anyday.

Planespotta...remember that the report was done by a local media outlet. While you may not like FoxNews, you're blaming the wrong crowd. You'll notice that the reporter has none of the qualities of a major network anchor or reporter. Basically, it was probably a slow day at the office or the new guy read something about a Q400 having no oxygen and decided to spread fear...I mean the information...to the public. Good job local news.
