... those Weather Channel people are hot and tired from running up and down the bank in those raincoats for two weeks, praying for rain.

It is awfully tiresome to be constantly lectured about evacuating storm areas by a bunch of clowns who deliberately go to those same areas, just so they can get some film footage of their mighty weather warriors braving the storm...

we're talking about tv theatrics now.

viewership involving the weather channel, abc, cnn & others.

it's bad enough for those directly impacted.

but to provide entertainment services for the viewers is quite cavalier.

but the media has to sell advertising, or it'd all be for naught.

The people we should feel sorry for are the camera people , and others that have to do the real work.

I like it when they go to their main studio in NYC and the anchor is wearing the same rain clothing while indoors three states away.

Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

There is a scene, in a very bad movie called "day after tomorrow " (iirc). It's a Michel Moore movie so bad I actually walked out and demanded my money back, but....there is one scene that stole the show and had the audience cheering.
There is this weatherman out in the storm, describing what wind feels like (like we are too stupid to know what wind is) and a billboard rips loose, and flips through the air and slaps down directly where this weather idiot is standing belaboring the obvious, leaving only a wet smear behind. The audience was ecstatic!

Best scene in the movie.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I figure ya gotta have at least a little shame to be able to feel embarrassment, So far i haven't seen very many reporters that could be embarrassed.

How about this dingbat? I think he was nominated for a Phony Baloney Tony for this performance.

I remember seeing the Weather Channel reporting live on the scene of an approaching hurricane in South Carolina.

We were on the beach all day. Not more than a breeze or a drop of rain.
