Fox News actually has a pretty fair update on the F-35 program. Of course that will cause them to be challenged as "media hacks" for Lockheed Martin" I'm sure. On the whole, however, it seems pretty fair and objective treatment of the F-35.
Critics won't like it because it is entitled "5th Generation F-35 Fighters Makes Headway". We all know that certain among the critical class likely went apoplectic when they saw that. Articles with verbaige like this are just not acceptable to those who prefer you to think of the jet as a "flying piano" - whatever in the world that means:
You bet that mission is a "promising step forward" for the program (we reported on it here). And we've documented plenty more of those steps on this blog.
Give the article a read. If you're a fan of the program, you'll enjoy it. If you're a critic you might want to avoid it. I hear gnashing of teeth leads to tooth enamel erosion.

Last Friday, the U.S. Marine Corps' VMFAT-501 training squadron in Florida’s Eglin AFB launched its first F-35B eight-ship, flew a mission, hot-pit refueled and went back up again.
This mission is the latest in a series of promising steps forward for the F-35.
