Absolutely, but one is a trifling concern compared to the other. Yet the trifling concern gets the media attention.
Alright, the media sucks. It’s amazing that people fixate so much on this obvious point, rather than be more concerned with rising ATC incidents or car accidents
What is your point, that newspapers should lay out A1 with "concerns" ordered whatever arbitrary metric you personally have decided is the "right" measure of importance?
Newspapers already are applying their own metrics for what's fit to print, seems reasonable to prefer one's own metric (if not reasonable to expect that to happen without action).
