Just for example - remember the guy they found dead in FL after his GF was found dead? .... just remember, the media was calling that guy an "experienced hiker" when he was thought to possibly be on the AT. Then it was exposed in a FB post or something he was bragging about surviving for weeks on nothing but roman noodles or something (it wasn't roman noodles but something like that) and other instances to show lack of experience. So if the media says someone is experienced there is just as good a chance they are not at all.
