There is just something about the :rolleyes: of the world that draws me in sometimes.

CNN also has a :rolleyes: waiting for the passengers to come out in to the arrivals area so he can get some interviews. I'm sure those will be extremely :rolleyes:.

Again, very sad news.

This is extremely sad but the first comment is brilliant,

"Some people will do anything to keep from going to New Jersey"

Too soon?

HA! Like CO would really allow a random passenger to jump behind the wheel of a 772. :rolleyes:

Have I ever mentioned how painful it is to watch cable news? CNN went right to Twitter to get reactions on the death of the CO61 pilot. :rolleyes:

The whole CNN-Twitter/Facebook thing has just about pushed me into not watching them at all anymore. If I wanted to know what Joe Blow in Arkasas thought of some newsworthy item, I would read Twitter. When I watch cable news, I expect to see something at least vaguely resembling professional journalism.

To quote a blast from the past.

I love how they are were talking about waiting for the plane to land when it had already landed and they showed video of the plane.:rolleyes:

Good luck trying to find passengers from that flight as it's the start of intl rush hour there and they'll be nicely mixed in with all of the other passengers.

Looks like camera feeds off the NJ Turnpike to cover the landing.

Oh, I'm sure they'll find plenty. CNN is desperate and there will be plenty of :rolleyes: that were on the plane who are desperate for their 10 seconds of fame.

CNN makes me glad that I do not get cable.

It won't be just CNN. All the locals, plus the cable nets.

Unfortunately, it's not just CNN - it's all of the cable networks and many of the local networks.

Makes me pine for the days when it was news, and not news mixed w/ opinion.:rolleyes:

Being one who was found by a reporter a few years ago about NWA problems when I was trying to avoid them, I will conceed to that they will find many people.
