The media and ājournalistsā deserves to be ridiculed. Journalism have gone to the dogs.

no wonder ted turner suffers from bouts of depression; watching his once indispensable news provider devolve into an embarrassing, degraded shell has to be tough.

Itās not just Don Lemon or CNN. Iāve seen this from the Philly broadcast stations too. Itās one thing if you canāt convey the complexities of a financial crisis or shifting alliances in the Middle East. Itās another if the entire TV news industry is stunned into panicked paralysis by the fact that it didnāt snow much after all and simply pretends, like a delusional schizophrenic, that it did. Remember when Detroit couldnāt seem to make a car worth buying? Thatās where TV news is now. Thoughtful people are getting their news from comedy shows because you literally canāt get it from the news.
Jon is proving that CNNās āreportingā is nothing more than watered down LEMONadeā¦
Deflate-gate from the Blizzardmobile. Now we just need Wolf Blitzer reading Tweets about it in 3D, and we can officially declare the United States of America as on the decline.

The overhyping of weather is a global phenomenon these days. Lemonās āBlizzardmobileā is just the latest in a growing
arsenal of āstorm trackers.ā Here in Pittsburgh a local station cut a deal with a local auto dealer, stuck a large screen TV in the back and every time six flakes fall together, one of their reporters hits the road filing ālive reports.ā
In most cases it is either the car driving in the snow on a local highway, or pulled over to the side of the road with the rear hatch up while he shows the weather map. But this is STORM TRACKER.
And TV stations are spending as much on Doppler Laser Radar systems as they used to spend on helicopters. And with all of that āinvestment,ā we are constantly bombarded with promos touting each stationās āSevere Weather Teamā up at 3 in morning to make sure you have the latest news.
In virtually ever case, however, they are reporting on storms with accumulations of 1-2 inches and bone chilling cold of maybe 20 degrees.
Meanwhile, my AccuWeather app on my iPhone fires off alarms every 30 seconds when a thunderstorm comes within three states of my house, to alert me to the danger. And in the winter, it produces similar āalarumsā for severe winter cold spells with wind chills of -4.
Get a grip folks. It is called winter. This stuff happens. And sure, when we get a really big storm forecast, do your job.
I donāt fault the professionals and their recent forecastsā¦coastal storms like āJunoā can produce varying results with a track shift of just a few miles. That happened in NYC, but imagine the wails if they had not produced forecasts that in turn generated orders to stay off the roads. The snarls and challenges of unplugging roads full of abandoned cars would have
ended diBlasioās mayorship after one term if the storm had done its worst and the city had not ordered folks to stay home.

Itās the Don Lemon Snow Witch Project! Iāmā¦s.s.so sscarredā¦
After watching Don Lemonās previous performances (1), I am convinced that he is channeling Park & Recās Perd Hapleyā¦
Or perhaps Perd Hapley was based on him.
- See Lemonās coverage of MH17 plane crash, interview of Muslim human rights attorney, interview of Cosby rape victim, et. al.
I have seen more snow on spoons Iāve accidentally left on the patio.
