Media news items where the presenter doesn't really understand the issue

[Chris from Nailsea]

Might add that it's nothing that new and is presented by someone who has a very little understanding of the process but worth a watch.

Yes, in my view, that pretty much sums up most of the BBC^» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) online output, these days.  Their including completely irrelevant images to 'illustrate' a story, for example.

Not just media-folk or in relation to transport issues.

As a retired lawyer with 35 years experience of housing, development and planning matters, I am simply appalled by the lack of knowledge of the pertinent issues of not only the media, but also pressure groups and policy makers. It seems that a mindless slogan or ill-founded prejudice trumps actually knowing the process of bringing forward a scheme to build, funding it, building it and selling or letting it.
