The FoxNews reporters failed big time using a graphic showing the MH17 track leading to just over the western Ukrainian border as the voice track talked about losing contact with Flight MH17, leaving a false impression. The reporters talked about the border between the Ukraine and Russia at the same time the graphic displayed the flight track on the western border. In other words, its another case of the reporters not understanding basic geography any elementary school child should know.
Fox put far too much faith in “FlightAware”. FlightAware flight tracking can be stale by an hour or more and often is. Many times I have seen a flight from, say, Minneapolis tracking over Tulsa, Oklahoma per FlightAware when The plane had in fact already landed in Dallas, the incoming passenger gathered his luggage and exited the Airport.
Not only that the western border of Ukraine is shared with Poland, not Russia.
Fox newsreaders often have no idea what they are talking about.
