The Weather Channel

On a day when the "white death" has reared it's ugly head in the Cincinnati tri-state area, this article from World Net Daily is appropriate. I've always been a big fan of The Weather Channel. But once again, emotions have taken over a once trusted "news" channel and the straight facts take a back seat to a political agenda.

"The move away from scientific forecasting of the weather to sensationalized leftist political advocacy is in part due to the influence of Wonya Lucas, executive vice president and general manager of The Weather Channel Networks.

Lucas admitted in a recent interview with Media Village that the reprogramming of The Weather Channel was influenced by her tenure at CNN when that network shifted from presenting straight news to personality-driven programming."

Long ago, I quit watching local news, specifically weather. I'm a believer that all weather forecasts are designed to scare you so you'll keep watching.
