Keukasmallies Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Is it really necessary for journalists and weather people to stand out in weather ranging from inclement to down right dangerous to tell us it's raining? Does anyone else see the irony of a drenched reporter being blasted by wind and debris telling us to stay inside because it's dangerous outside? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/28/us/tv-news-crew-killed-falling-tree.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 It's their punishment for telling everyone it was actually going to be a sunny day with a 10% chance of light showers...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Natural selection. I hate how the weather (of all things) has become so sensationalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, today we learned. Not too roast marshmallows in a volcanic fissure in Hawaii. If you do it in the rain. It is even more dangerous to eat. Film at 11.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Or when the weather is bad, and the story isn't even weather related, no does it have to be reported upon live from the scene. "Jim, I'm standing in front of Buffalo City Hall, where just 5 hours ago...." Five hours ago? Everybody is gone. Go home. No reason you have to be out of the comfort of your studio.

Here comes the next edition of 'Survivor'. What say the next season of 'The Bachelor' involves tossing those bimbos in the volcano until one is miraculously spared. And you're right...I have little use or patience for reality television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes down to money. People watch doom and gloom. One of my favorite hobbies is studying the choice of language on the crawlers used by CNN and other TV networks announcing "breaking news". The choice of wording is often hilarious, as it is intentionally so dramatic and fear inducing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
