Its all a bunch of excuses.
Take a look at this forum itself & say Scorpion82’s posts on Eurofighter. They are better than 90% of the EF reportage out there. And this is a so called “amateur” as versus a professional defense journalist. If he had that routine access & did it full time, his quality of work would dwarf all the lengthy articles in the expensive trade mags.
The amount of information here:http://rafale.freeforums.org/
Is far in excess of what appears in most of the world’s media, bar the rare article which is well sourced & sufficiently detailed.
At the end of the day, its all about sincerity.
There are far too many “professional journalists” who are going around posturing as experts in a field they don’t either care about, or just treat as yet another job
I both know Tmor and Scorpion, and regularly talk with them (via forum) 😎
And i know they are very reliable and knowledgable sources (in fact i very recently asked Scorpion where to find a comprehensive summary of Eurofighter evolutions). Aswell as some others. But what Merurius pointed is that journalist cannot be as specialized as they are… And i intended to quote myself as an amateur…
If you like as uch as i do Tmor site, you may also find those two sites interesting : http://rafalefan.e-monsite.com/blog/7/
