    So here's another example. This incident on AA should be covered in its own right as a horrible incident in which a flight attendant makes a woman cry and a passenger steps in to tell the flight attendant off. So in covering the story in its early stages, do we get the name of the passenger who stepped in and quickly find out his past? Whether he has ever been arrested, who he is, etc., or do we just cover the incident for what it is? Do we get the background of the woman with the baby who was almost injured? And finally do we get the background of the aggressive flight attendant and do we report it heavily if we find out any of these 3 individuals has ghosts in their past?? This story probably will have legs for a while since it's American Airlines.

    A popular thread is one in which Fredrick gives his thoughts! That's my take anyway.

    If true, you do deserve credit. Doc Holliday is compelling apparently.
