Anthonys go on a cruise

WFTV-Channel 9 led its 5 p.m. news with the George and Cindy Anthony's Caribbean cruise.
"The vacation was from you guys," Cindy said after leaving her cruise ship. Cindy said they had a nice time, but she also snapped at WFTV, "Thanks for ruining our trip." That Cindy -- she's so inconsistent.
Then ABC affiliate WFTV explored what that cruise might mean to the case of Casey Anthony, their daughter. She is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee.
WFTV's anchors noted that the Anthonys had received $20,000 from CBS. That network's "48 Hours Mystery" on Saturday aired an hour on the case.
WFTV's Kathi Belich had an intriguing way of recapping details in the headline-making case. "In December, the Anthonys were dining on crab puffs at the Ritz-Carlton on the tab of one major network, while investigators were here in the woods, right around the corner from their house, in the rain and mud, searching for Caylee's remains," Belich said.


That "major network" is the one WFTV is affiliated with: Disney-owned ABC. Why not just state the facts?
Belich highlighted that the Anthonys were on "a tropical island cruise" while "48 Hours Mystery" aired. The WFTV reporter noted that George has told prosecutors that no one will hire either him or Cindy.

While they were at sea, CBS aired a special edition of “48 Hours” on the mystery surrounding their granddaughter's death. Eyewitness News learned the Anthonys received $20,000 for an interview on that special.

Cindy and George Anthony apparently left their daughter's murder trial hearing last Friday and headed to Port Canaveral for a 4-day Bahamian cruise on the Monarch of the Seas. That comes after George told prosecutors under oath that no one will hire them and, just to make ends meet, they had to accept a few thousand dollars from the CBS network for an exclusive interview that aired Saturday night. Cindy told prosecutors it was more like $20,000.

“The vacation was from you guys,” Cindy told the cameraperson who caught her on video arriving home from the cruise. “Shut your camera off ... thanks for ruining our trip."
