If it were not for all the people and families that would be hurt, it could'nt happen to a better airline. Ever sence Pan Amm went away and UAL went international the quality, service and all aspects of flying have been taken away by UAL. They need to go belly up.

Fly me to the moon..let me swing among the stars....

Investigate? Are you kidding? This is just business as usual and the SEC never does anything. Corruption is at an all time high and why would it not be, when every law on the books is a joke since the supposed watchdog does nothing. Interesting how the state attorney generals were the ones to sue the banks to get them to pay back the billions they defrauded.

Wow, just look what damage the media can do when they get it wrong, AND, they get it WRONG ALL THE TIME. I really don't think this is what the founding fathers intended when they us freedom of the press. This freedom has been so abused and misused in this country I know those founding fathers just roll in their graves at night.

The "free" media is no more. It is owned by corporations, so diversity of opinions has disappeared. Personal reponsibility has also disappeared. Reporters today are a bunch of hacks steeping on each others tails to get to the top. They were supposed to be guardians of democracy, but instead they have been morphing into a cancer eating away at democracy. Just look at their performance in the political arena. Reporters are so far gone they themselves do not see it. Is it any wonder massive errors of the UAL type happen ?? They don't care. Remember the New York Times and their star reporter caught fabricating news. Is it any wonder ?? ENRON at least could be solved. How do you get rid of a malignant cancer passing itself as benign??.

I am glad, now they know what Barack Obama feels like with all of the lies circulating. Don't get me wrong, cruelty is cruelty.

It is always easy to blame everyone's problems on the media. Reporters are expected to get the facts right. They are constantly pressured by their editors to do so. But most newpapers and other publications have cut their staffs to the bone. That makes it much harder to double or tripple check information. Also, many people in high places hide from the media. Consequently, reporters must seek other sources that might not be as reliable. Part of the problem is that news sources are expected to be like PR agencies and only print fluff. That is not the calling of the media and never should be. Most reporters still do a good job in keeping politicians and business leaders honest. It is a thankless, underpaid job that really does take some talent -- especially in a country where many have trouble just speaking proper English.

Unfortunately, reporters have to meet the demands of their networks. Ever since the onset of CNN and FOX News, we have watched the networks sell their souls, morals and values for their Nielsen ratings. It's not about journalism or professionalism anymore. It's all about ratings and money. Good ratings bring big advertising revenues. Great ratings bring awards and accolades. There is no moral or ethical cost too great for the good of the network. Until viewers learn to think for themselves and say no more to the network producers, it will only get worse. While that sounds simple enough to accomplish, the vast majority of Americans are too lazy to think for themselves and too disengaged to recognize through the power of their voice and actions, change can and will take place. It's this type of apathy that gave Hitler the power to murder over 6 million Jews. The real lesson is that if you don't use your voice, you will eventually lose your voice.

Sure sounds like a Barry Obama thing!
Of course his Good-ole-boys will always support him. Reasoning; He's Black and everyone is affraid of him squealing "Racist". I'm black and your brow-beating me! Poor poor Barry.....LOL

if these traders weren't all paranoid from all the coke they snort this wouldn't happen

What other corruption comes from Chicago? Oh that's right. Obama

Yup! Seems like too many folks arn't afraid of Hell or God anymore. Leave God out and He leaves you out. Without the fear of God and the Bible, there is no standard and not much ethetics if any. Return to God and he will return to you as an individule and as a country.

Chris Cox must be on someone else's payroll. Or, maybe a traitor working for some other nation's interests. I have been all over him about how a lack of controls was allowing financial terrorism against our financial infrastructure. Intentional false rumor spreading was on my list to him -- with two dozen examples, many tied back to foreign interests. A simple uptick rule would have prevented this manipulation of UAUA. I hope UAL sues the SOBs involved in this and that CFOs from all American companies band together to nail the short/rumor scum.

Oh, and now Paulson gives the GSE shorts a $7 billion bonus today. This is pathetic!

Gimme a good ole' horse n buggy - no terrorism there....

NObama???...United????...I dont seethe tie in. NObama is the antichrist....UA is just a lousy airline that needs to disappear.

So, is it time to buy in, before it recovers?

Another great example of our pathetic, do-nothing, self-serving government at work. Who the hell is running the asylum - obviously no one!

Pulitzer prize was tarnished and is meaningless in this century of the media. Lies, distorsion,convoluted reporting are the standard fair. They lost it when big business and greed took over to climb to the top of the dung heap. I thought reporters were there to protect our republic. That's another fairy tale like the cherry tree. Journalist are lower that used car salesmen or snake something. What are we teaching in our predominatly socialist colleges today?

Let's see, I could have purchased 1000 shares for 10 bucks this a.m. and sold them this p.m. for at least 10 bucks a share and made $10K for sitting home doing nothing. Market manipulation does not exist per the SEC. The SEC is a joke, my dog can do a better job sniffing another dog's butt than the SEC can do with all the big market manipulation that goes on today. It is a spectator sport.
