Deus Ex Malcontent notes that CNN must really be missing Miles O’Brien…

But as I flipped over to catch a little of CNN’s coverage, the first thing that came to mind — from a news standpoint — was how much the network must be missing the aviation expertise of Miles O’Brien, whom network president Jon Klein fired a couple of months ago. Miles had always been CNN’s go-to guy during these kinds of news events; he knows planes inside and out.

Well, it was Jacki Schechner who directed me to Miles’s Facebook page where — in a show of audacity that’s just fucking staggering — there’s a message from a CNN booker asking if Miles would be willing to do a live beeper (a telephone interview) with Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room.
