Last news poll of the public's most trusted citizens I saw put lawyers,
second hand car salesmen and journalists in the last three places at the
bottom of the heap.
Nobody actually believes what they read or hear on the news, do they?

It appears that the Sydney Morning Herald *DID* believe Ian McPhee, as he
was quoted extensively in their story that appeared on www.smh.com.au today
The article title is "Witness tells of pilot's 'crazy' flying before crash"
The URL for the article is
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/witness-tells-of-pilots-crazy-flying-before-crash/2005/10/24/1130006038907.html
I guess only Macca can tell us if he was quoted correctly.
Cheers
Jason
