Does the Weather Channel have a RW bias?
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 12:49 PM by Beware the Beast Man
I swear it does. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems to lean quite hard to the Right.

Anyone else notice this?

:P

you can find boogey men everywhere if want to find them.

it's called self-fulfilling prophecy.

i've had to watch my thinking a lot lately. i noticed i was falling into a kind of "true believerism."

fundamentalism of any stripe is a form of mental illness. problem is, it's easy for me to pick up a banner.

5. It sure does.
I heard that it's partly funded by the Hertiage Foundation. Pure right wing.

6. "Well, We Thought It Was Going to Snow In the Plains
But then it flip-flopped just like John Kerry.

Meanwhile, God has unleashed punishing storms, mudslides, and fires on all the fags and abortionists in California. Stay tuned for updates!"

7. It totally does and I thought I was the only one to notice it
Last year during all the hurricanes in Florida, Numbnuts, I mean Bush, went there and so did Kerry. Amazingly enough, Kerry's visit wasn't shown, but Bush got on there shakin' hands with the folks in a neighborhood that had been leveled, but somehow a Bush/Cheney yardsign had miraculously survived. :puke:

I turned if off after that and haven't been back since.

8. I am sick and tired of MSW on the Weather Channel...
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 12:52 PM by arwalden
the only thing that's ever reported is what the MSW want us to hear. Where can we get some HONEST predictions for a change??

10. You mean where they say things like...
...and as you can see, this low-pressure system over the Baja Peninsula will continue to cause heavy rains in the greater los Angeles area, which is something the America-hating Sodomites who live there can expect as a mere taste of God's wrath to come...

11. Bunch of flip-floppers!
One day they say it's gonna be sunny. The next day they say it isn't.

WELL WHICH IS IT? We need a AMS Veterans For Truth to handle those cocky bastards.

14. I'm not a Weather Channel devotee, so I don't know
My personal preference is accuweather.com.

Much more reliable. :)

16. Well now that you mention it......
I have noticed how they tend to stand to the right side of the map more than the left.

Hmmmm?
