Calling out Aviation Bloggers on Honesty

http://breakingdefense.com/2015/06/ge-sets-aetd-record/

Please join me in solidarity, whether you agree with me about your favorite aircraft or not.

There is a sickness permeating the internet aviation Blogosphere. A sickness of gross misrepresentation just to achieve internet clicks.

Case in point:
The above mentioned article lists The F-35 as having a 600mile range, and never explains the difference between a max range, and combat RADIUS.
Does the writer know that most who read it are not informed? Is the writer copying and pasting? For an aviation journalist this is NOT acceptable, and could only lead to several conclusions.
1. The writer is ignorant, and should not be writing a aviation piece.

2. The writer, has a personal or political agenda.

3. The writer is flat out trying to pass a 1/2 truth.

Im calling for a movement in our small part of the internet blogosphere to pressure writers and bloggers into honesty.

You may not agree, and we may not like each others favorite plane, but lets agree to support honesty. Now IBFTL.
