Default Pathetic media reporting

This doesn't fit perfectly into the safety forum, but I also didn't see a better place. Moderators: feel free to move it as you see fit.

We've all suffered through totally ignorant aviation news reports before. There is a lady in Wichita that has done something positive about it.

Here's a short excerpt from the blogger's example of typical pathetic reporting:
"(ANYWHERE, USA, Friday, July 5, 2013) A fixed-wing rotorcraft made an emergency takeoff upon landing two miles short of the departure end of the arrival runway at Poedunk Municipal Airport today. We've learned the crash involved a Skyokee-22, a six-passenger biplane with retractable wings. "
