Even if it is paraphrasing another lobby group's statement, it should check facts and render its opinion.
At the same period airlines paid $240 Billion to aviation infrastructure trust funds.
Unlike US media outlets, there is no disclosure requirement by lot of foreign media outlets and even aviation analysts. Makes it difficult to judge without knowing how they are funded.

The OP simply ignored my reply from a month ago, and that was before the fabled interview with Tim Clark.

The US media propaganda is the most successful in the world because the masses refuse to recognise it as being one!
