...and the REAL reason he was fired?
"Then Hundley, who was seated next to the mother and son, allegedly told her to "shut that ('N word') baby up."
The guy is a jerk, to be sure....but why was he apparently served alcohol AFTER it was clear he was drunk? Why does it take TWO "journalists" to do this story at CNN?
Why is Kat Williams still employed by ANYONE, if acting like a boar is the standard?
Also, why is this--a guy acting like a jackass on a plane--national news?

Because it fans the flames of division which is a support beam in 0’s house...

I think you’ve keyed in on something that has become a trend over the past twenty years. News networks now take routine stories that ought to make the front page of Green Bay, WI, but really not a national story.
The simple story here is some drunk guy on an airplane....doing stupid things, and will likely get four weeks in some local county jail with a fine.
If you’d turn off all the national networks for a month....they’d get the message and start to think over how they can possibly make a profit with no viewers.

If the ratings are an indicator (and they are), then most people have been doing that. The net execs still don’t get it.

One of our local news stations has been dutifully running this story repeatedly for the last several days, even though none of the participants has any local connection whatsoever.
But I guess it's because they're a network affiliate, and they have to push the memes promoted by the network.

Because the incident was on a plane and he deserves it...

They have literally lost half of their viewers. They don't care. The people in charge feel their own job is safe, and they would rather put out their political message and lay off a few more reporters.

I never watch any televised news, either. If it’s not on FR, chances are, I won’t hear about it.
OTOH, I did hear about this incident on FR, so what are we doing here? LOL!

Actor Alec Baldwin allegedly called a black Post photographer a racial epithet, a crackhead and a drug dealer during a confrontation on an East Village street yesterday morning, prompting police to intervene. He then called G.N. Miller a decorated retired detective with the NYPDs Organized Crime Control Bureau and a staff photographer for The Post a coon, a drug dealer, Millers police statement said.

I've been on more than a few 10 to 15 hour long flights that seemed to me to be filled with screeching three year olds.Although I was tempted to stuff a sock in one or two mouths I never did.But then,I haven't consumed a drop of ethanol since 1987.

Why is Kat Williams still employed by ANYONE, if acting like a boar is the standard?Because he's
a. a "comedian", and
b. a member of a "protected" class

I am not sure why the unpleasant, minor and tacky has become national news.
Unless it is to fan division of the people.
And to make people fearful.

Also, why is this--a guy acting like a jackass on a plane--national news?Post-9/11, anyone acting like a jackass on a plane is national news. It's sort of man-bites-dog - while it's been decades since anyone has had to dress up to get on a plane, the average air passenger is a cut above, and you don't get very many incidents. Thus, any incident is news. And to have a corporate executive smack somebody's else baby on a plane - that's major league newsworthy. The racial angle is just a bonus.

I dunno about that..
Forget about the racial part for a moment: A man slaps a crying child in the face on a major air line??? I'm not surprised that it made national headlines.
If it were my child, the headlines would be bigger than that!

I think the first time I saw it was on the Miami local news. Fox station, I think....
I thought “Gee, a Minnesota or Georgia story....not a single connection to Florida. Oh, wait....the guy USED THE “N” WORD?!”
South Florida race baiting media drool at any opportunity to fan black hatred of whites.
