Weather coverage…
August 6, 2008
Wow…I have been watching all the backlash that the news stations have been receiving today because of their overly dramatic Edouard coverage, and I am finding it HILARIOUS. I mean, while I was watching the coverage and then looking outside at the rain, I did notice quite the discrepency. I agree that some people are saying that it is kind of like the boy who cried wolf….that the next time people won’t get worried, and then it will actually turn out bad. And yes, I know, that they are just providing predictions based on data, and things change….but come ON, did they really need to be so dramatic?? Once the storm arrived and it was obviously not as bad as they were predicting, the live feeds and every-second coverage should have been scrapped. But nope…we still got reporters on locations showing water and wind…and pretty much finding ANY little thing to report on, just to have a story! Ridiculous!
