He's not wrong. It's like the whole thing where you're statistically more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash, but people think a plane crash is more dangerous. Any incident with a V-22 gets more coverage, because of the early accidents during its development and because it is a larger aircraft which carries more people, so there's a higher loss of life in a bad crash. When a Blackhawk with 4 on board goes down, no one really pays attention.
