The movie
Twilight, Justin Bieber, the Kardashians, and
People magazine are very popular, too. Popularity and quality aren't always the same. OMAAT used to be different, and I used to be a fairly regular reader, but it's not the same anymore.

Agreed. It was pretty clear the intent, particularly after his clarification in comments that expanded the disdain to all domestic airlines. No, it's not Watergate, but it was a snarky and condescending headline & comment.
