Maybe when the news starts dealing with facts, we can begin pushing celebrities in the same direction. One step at a time, though.

I don't think celebrities are really different in this regard from regular people. Their rants - both the justified and the ill-advised ones - however catch a lot more people's attention.

Except, they seem to believe that, because of their celebrity, their opinions are of greater value.

I'll never understand why people pay attention to what "celebrities" have to say instead of coming up with their own conclusions based on the facts.

Well, that's true and good ... but it came after the pricing goof and Dow's post. The damage had already been done.

Does Delta have a suggestion box? I'd like to suggest that they draft a written agreement so that every time some hollywood "personality" or political blowhard announces that they will never fly Delta again, the closest gate agent can quickly print a copy for signature.

Chelsea - great idea. From this day forward please fly United instead of Delta (and raise the average IQ on both airlines) :-)

Whenever a celebrity says something, I assume that the opposite is more likely to be true.

Based on the existence of this thread, it seems they're correct

How does a thread that is focused on ridiculing a celebrity and her half-brained assertion serve, in your opinion, to somehow enhance the validity of that assertion?
