Clickbaiting and lazy journalism

Read this article. Look carefully at the accompanying picture of the aircraft mentioned. Do you see propellers? Yes, you do. So why then, does the author of said article call it a "jet fighter"? Lazy journalism like this ticks me off - particularly when gaffes like this are made by a so called 'technology reporter'. 

Also, grinding my personal axe - the real victor of the Battle of Britain was the Hawker Hurricane - less flashy than the Spitfire, but responsible for 60% of the kills made by the RAF.
