OK, Minneapolis-St Paul Freepers!
Keep reading this article as there is talk that "DFL Don" Shelby, the smug and pompous lead anchor for WDFL...I mean WCCO, may be contemplating retirement in a year or two.
Comments or opinions - anyone?

Paul Douglas, WCCO's longtime weatherman, was released today from the station as part of a nationwide purge of CBS employees, a wide-ranging, dramatic response to a sluggish economy and steep competition for the Internet, which have caused ad rates and audiences to dwindle.
They never admit one reason for dwindling audiences is people are not buying the socialist biased bull anymore.

Paul Douglas is a smart guy. He anticipated the decline of Old Media and made jump to New Media. His interactive weather-forcast services (my-cast.com, Digital Cyclone, etc) are now used by cellphone makers Verizon, ATT, etc. They probably will earn him a lot more money than his WCCO-TV gig.

Too bad - but sour fruits don’t sell well with the folks at home watching TV. He was also a card carrying moon bat with global warming paranoia. I remember him and Dave Dahl getting into it over this topic someplace and Dahl basically handed him his @ss in scientific terminology.

Good Riddance to stinky garbage. Paul was one of the worst forecasters I’ve ever watched...From the Overblown calls of BLIZZARD to Missing a tornado that blew away my house. The guy couldn’t predict the sun coming up...much less convince me he knew what was going to happen in the next century. Not to mention his bully pulpit global warming sermons with Smarmy Don.
See yah Paul...Don’t let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out.
