Empathy? Really?
Yeah, flight attendants have SUCH a tough job. The stress of showing people how to work a seat belt must be simply unbearable.
This article is so emblematic of the compulsion mainstream media feels to offer some kind of justification for the most abhorrent and aberrant conduct.
I fear many journalists cannot distinquish between empathizing with and approving of bad behavior. That said, you undermined your own case. What was the point in taking a gratuitous shot at Dick Black?

ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I should not approve of Dick Black's bad behavior. My bad.
I just looked at Dick's picture again, compared it to this one == and laughed out loud.
