As if the NY Post is a bastion of responsible journalism!

NY1 star 'bumps' himself off flight

..."That other guy lost it, 'Oh, no! You bumped into me! You will be removed from this flight!' " his aunt, Inez Carter, 63, told The Post.
Why are they quoting a relative who wasn't even there? Of course she is going to side with her nephew. Moving on...

"Dominic, rather than hold up the flight, decided to remove himself," said the aunt. "[He] just doesn't need this right now."

The 45-year-old political journalist is facing domestic-violence charges for an alleged altercation with his wife in Rockland County.
I know one is innocent until proven guilty, but also where there's smoke there's usually fire. I'm not saying that the flight attendant is blameless here but I'm thinking neither is this guy. Here we have a person who obviously has some anger management issues butting heads, almost literally, with a flight attendant. The comments of a family member shouldn't sway an objective analysis of the event. To this day Scott Peterson's family claim his innocence yet he still sits on death row for killing his wife and unborn child.
