"If you don't like abortions and gay weddings, don't have them!"

Well then I guess we all better just give up and stop trying to be an informed electorate & citizenry. That's quitter, talk, son. That ain't my America.

They're like... 70% correct in that assessment. There's some howling shitgibbons in these here threads, but most of them are at least working off the same set of facts instead of treating it like a Facebook group self-love fest.

"Who you gonna believe? Me, or your lying eyes?" Dude, screeners are out there on Twitter posting their paystubs with $0.00 in the paid column. You're just triggered because the letters "C N N" appear above the story. Quit being such a snowflake.

The headline is not the article. I'd go so far as to say including the words "alleged" or "reported" in the headline would've been better, but again, we're talking about Yahoo here, not exactly Pulitzer material. What you're describing above is sloppy journalism, but to call it "fake news" is a stretch. Your average news consumer should be reading the story and viewing it as coming from the source described in the article. They often don't, and take it all as God's Honest Truth. That's a whole separate issue I don't intend to wade into, but you know what I'm saying.

At the time that byline was written, AA was 'looking into it', so all there was to go on besides that was the story being told by the family. I'm not saying Yahoo gets a pulitzer for this, but you're complaining about something that a responsible adult should understand by now - stories change as new things are learned. At any rate, here's their nut graf. The statements are qualified as just that - statements from the family. That's it. > A 67-year-old woman who has trouble walking *was reportedly* left in a wheelchair overnight after her flight from Chicago to Detroit was cancelled on Friday. > *Olimpia Warsaw’s son Claude Coltea* told CBS Chicago that she had flown to Chicago to attend her ex-husband’s funeral. On the way there, her luggage was lost. On the way back, she was abandoned in the airport. There's a lot of debate to be had about "the media", but this ain't that, kind internet stranger.

Care to point me to where "the media" reported it as "fact" as you're implying and didn't use the correct qualifying statement of "Olimpia Warsaw's family claims" or that "Warsaw herself claims"? Because right now I think you're carelessly spouting off so you can go on a rant about "the media".

I'm going by memory, but the tips are around 10' each, and add up to a reduction in width of something like 22' overall. That may not sound like much, but it's enough to allow the planes to fit into gates already built at airports around the world. Lets the plane land & accommodate passengers at more places and saves the airports money in construction to widen the gates.

Didn't realize it was such hidden knowledge! I learned this back when I was a kid and my dad was teaching me orienteering. By the way, what's "OT"?
