Flying Out of LaGuardia This Holiday? 10,000 Fliers Say: Sucks For You
Planet terror download.flickr.com/3015/3047066875_d62f952b2c_m.jpg” alt=”" width=”240″ height=”142″ />LaGuardia was just ranked the worst of the country’s 27 biggest airports in a Zagat’s survey, the Daily News reported. The main complaints included long delays, lack of places to sit down and few shops and restaurants. Ha, you may laugh with schadenfreude, I’m flying out of JFK. But it turns out that JFK didn’t do much better, with a ranking fourth from the bottom.

Was Bernard Goldberg Biased, or Are We?
Editor’s Note: This is a different look at an event previously covered here.
The 340 students of Mitchell Stephens’ Foundations of Journalism Class were visited Tuesday by a spectral, otherworldly voice – a voice that they never thought they’d hear in safe, enlightened Manhattan Youngblood download. It was the voice of Bernard Goldberg, writer of the controversial 2001 book Bias that detailed the liberal bias that Goldberg saw in most mainstream media. The students knew that there were people who thought that way, but for many, this was the first time they’d talked to one – even if it was just over the phone. Continue…

Taxi TVs Force Us To Watch
The land that time forgot download.flickr.com/161/398946044_e2391aa28d_m.jpg” alt=”" width=”240″ height=”180″ />New Yorkers are complaining about taxi TVs – those screens on the back of the drivers seat that blare commercials at you – that supposedly can’t be turned off, according to Gothamist. A spokesperson from the Taxi and Limousine Service said that the screens weren’t being designed that way, they were just malfunctioning. But could this really be part of a massive public transportation plot, along with those changing bus ads, to make us watch commercials all the time?

Where Are All The “I Voted” Stickers?
Fools gold download.static.flickr.com/2212/2277408667_0d8db8f776_t.jpg” alt=”" width=”100″ height=”50″ />Not in New York, apparently. I’ve heard all sorts of theories: that so many people voted before 10 am today that they ran out of stickers, that their disappearance is somehow related to the Republicans, etc. But it turns out that New York City has never given voters stickers, according to Gothamist. Luckily, you don’t need any stickers to get your free Starbucks or Ben & Jerry’s, since it turns out that it’s illegal to compensate you for voting anyway.

Covering the Campaign of a Lifetime Panel: Journalists Are Crack Addicts…
PressThink. Topics of discussion ranged from McCain’s treatment of foreign media (“at one point, he did say [the BBC] were communists,” said Kay) to whether the candidates are going to follow in the press relations traditions of President Bush (who has mounted a “very aggressive reality-replacement program,” according to Rosen).
