Journos are idiots............}
hmm maybe a bit harsh...............Some journos are foolish headline-grabbing drones who have little understanding of anything and are only interested in the story they want to tell.......(vent, rant, grrrr, shakes fist at the sky.)
Some have claimed that 'gas engineers' found the site that we were desperately trying to stop the same engineers kicking us off the site and destroying it, after we had warned them they hadn't left enough time between stripping and trenching for those unexpected settlements that would turn up, others tried to claim I worked for some utilities company, one wrote that our Iron Age/RB trackway was lined up with York minster, 'a common Roman practice'!!??..........thought he wasn't listening when I tried to carefully explain that the track seemed to be heading for the center of York because you could see the top of the minster on the horizon, which is round about the same spot as Roman York. The 'common practice' was a reference to the graves being located outside of the edge of the settlement. luckily the newspaper they sent it to got in contact with us to clarify before print!
Ooo and don't get me started on how the press reports on climatological science!!
