A news outlet in the Santa Monica area ran a hatchet-job about SMO, in which they listed “Santa Monica Airport Plane Crashes.” It’s been pointed out that many of them had little or nothing to do with that airport. At the end, they have a poll in which they ask if the airport should be closed. After a biased article like that, the results are predictable. People who care about airports should vote in this poll.
