Count the errors!

Not necessarily looking to pick at them...I don't expect mainstream media to get it all right when it comes to aviation, but I figured we could make a little game by pointing out what's wrong on their 18 slides.
GO!
wow. i wonder who's shot of VP-BDJ that is.
You wonder if anyone checks their work before they post stories like that.
Seriously, a TWA A320?
Hey come on now, Fox is "Fair and Balanced" they never claimed to be accurate! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I don't understand where they got such awful info. Even Wikipedia explains most of these events pretty well.
Also, yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of PeoplExpress's last day.
TWA did have 50 A 318's on order along with the B717. The order was cancled by American right after the take over
It seems like they did a major cleaning up. Did the geeks on a.net called en masse and threatened to crucify the reporter? I just read the related a.net thread and Trump Shuttle, National, etc aren't on the slide show. So they must have changed it.
The only 'error' I see there is the depiction of a TWA A319 and in the newer scheme which is probably the least remembered. Also, "flight 800" is not what TWA is remembered for, maybe it is to the media..
Now looks like they've removed it completely.
It was the wrong Frontier Airline pictured as well, (similar to the National error). From what I remember the snippets might've been the work of AP though (unless it was simply all the images that were AP).
