Is anyone turning back the clock and flying FLL-MIA?

I was once scheduled to fly EWR-MIA-FLL but when we arrived in MIA the MIA-FLL segment was delayed several hours and since we needed to catch a cruise, I asked the GA to drop that segment from our reservation so it would not be cancelled. Purchasing EWR-MIA-FLL was about $150 cheaper at the time than flying directly into FLL or MIA from EWR :rolleyes:

That is a "story" better suited for digg.com and the web. It seems that the news stations feel a need to build in the internet, commenting, blogging, twittering into their shows at least once a night. They read comments of viewers and talk about "tweets". It's obnoxious and almost makes me embarrassed to say that I work in the web industry.

Holy cow! How can the hair mousse concession there? ca-ching!

Did something happen on AM? My bank balance dropped...

IGNORE THIS. JUST REALIZED IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW MONTH

Serious :rolleyes going on. Need another glass of wine (Fallegro is fantastic).

CNN is by far the worst culprit of this. I agree - it is embarrassing.

Exactly.

We have local stations here that do it, except they do not know all of the terms and struggle with the teleprompters, making the whole thing end badly.

That reminds me that I once was on a flight that went MCO-MIA-FLL. It was so long ago that I had forgotten about it but now I think that it was on a defunct LCC named Florida Express that flew all BAC-111s and hubbed in Orlando.

Who kidnapped my Indians and put a great team on the field? :D

Me as well. I read my news, not watch talking heads.

There are few times where I would say "I probably would have just driven ..."

Yes indeed. Very well said.

According to those who run the newsroom there, it is. I personally think it is nothing more than a leftist propaganda machine. Hell will freeze before Olbermann books a guest that disagrees with him at all. That's two-pronged: A) he probably can't hold his own in the arguments without insulting and demeaning the other side, and B) he has a massive self-confidence problem as a direct result of (A).

All of the news outlets are sensationalist, and that is nothing more than a byproduct of the news becoming a 24-hour business cycle that became ratings-driven. It might also have something to do with the political correctness-driven dumbing down of America. I genuinely believe that bias and sensationalism are mutually exclusive. Business motivations drive sensationalism, while slanted newscasts (to either side) are the result of editorial boards or executive committees.
