This is not about Petruna, as much as MindBender wants it to be. This is about information regarding the what, who, and why provided by the AJC sourcing AirTran and the TSA, that is so sketchy, so incomplete, and so illogical that it strains credibility among those of us who truly are thinking critically.
Notice that MindBender has scrupulously avoided addressing any of the points I've brought up to him on this and other threads. He has responded to my posts by disputing things I never wrote and addressing points I never made.
I still want to know how it is that:
1. Any self-respecting professional journalist would a) accept as legit an airline's claim that a passenger seated behind the offender told them she "believed" the guy was speaking Spanish (What do you mean "believed"? She couldn't tell?) and b) not immediately follow-up with the question: How would a passenger who only spoke Spanish pose a translation problem on an American domestic flight bound for Texas?
2. Out of group of at least a dozen passengers travelling together, not a single one of them was able to act as a translater for the one among them who knew no English and was unable to understand the flight attendant's request to turn off an electronic device (as if sign language couldn't absolutely ADEQUATELY convey that request in any case)?
Petruna has nothing to do with the real story. The real story is that officials, through their willing dupes in the MSM, are asking us to swallow a story that is clearly ridiculous. As I've said -- it's no more believable than if AirTran and TSA officials explained to AJC that Santa and his reindeer towed the plane back to the gate because Rudolph wanted to impress his girlfriend.
If MindBender is representative of a person who has worked for 35 years as a network TV reporter, then it absolutely explains why they MSM is as lame as it is.
You are correct Finny.
Mindbender didn’t answer my question about “who he is working for either.”
I personally am laughing at his unsuccessful disinformation campaign. In my opinion FReepers are smarter than that and much better at critical thinking.
