News rooms are often staffed with young managers who live and die by ratings. Bad ratings will get you fired. So they hype everything in the hopes you will tune in.

...My favorite news hype from natural events story:<br /><br />This was earlier this decade when St. Helens woke up to eventually squeeze out some dacite lava like a slow moving giant toothpaste tube (the time lapse videos at the CVO website are very impressive). <br /><br />Fox news reported this briefly and said, promising more in the show "Mt. St. Helens is starting to erupt again, scientists think. Should You Be Worried?"<br /><br />So that tag "Should You Be Worried?" is a phrase my spouse and I use when we are making fun of something.<br /><br />KWKenna Wickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802821050975830973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-25621735770097513722009-12-12T08:30:37.908-08:002009-12-12T08:30:37.908-08:00I would like to challenge the TV news outlets to s...I would like to challenge the TV news outlets to start acting like they are speaking to adults rather than children. I have used the internet as a news source for years. I recently clicked on an online video of a current broadcast and was amazed at how emotional it was and the complete dearth of content. I challenge the Seattle networks to meet the needs of our reportedly "highly educated” populace by stepping up to the plate and giving us what we want regarding our weather and other news; which is to provide data like this blog. <br /><br />Based on what I have learned form Mr. Mass about the unique meteorological setting in which we live, the Puget sound basin experiences a wide range of weather just miles apart. I propose that the popularity of this website is due to the fact that many of us are just trying to figure out what is going to happen in our neck of the woods. Now if the TV news media were to stop providing weather soap operas and give us the facts they might have a chance of retaining their currently diminishing audience.Runs with scissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273092869319521655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-84655570078256596442009-12-12T07:47:57.346-08:002009-12-12T07:47:57.346-08:00TV news never lies.

I think this winter may be like 83/84 - a big snow post Christmas, then a long foggy/ dry period to follow.
