Check out this cringeworthy Yahoo News Reuters feature on the Airbus A350. Quite possibly the best (worst?) part has to be when she's saying “the twin engines give it a range of about 15,000 kilometers"… while showing three planes with four engines each.

You can gush over Hello Kitty kitsch all you want, but you are just as clueless as the mainstream media when it comes to anything that flys. Poser.
When they get a story this wrong that is simple and easily fact-checked, it sure makes you question their ability to cover stories that are subjective and difficult to verify...
