Its February. The weather patterns are changing and bringing the storms.
Cripplecreek is correct. When something happens in the northeast, their local news becomes our national news. I’m giving them a pass on this huge snowstorm, but I’ve seen traffic jams on bridges make national news.
So, given that propensity on the part of the northeast media, I’m comfortable in saying that half of the news we’ll get will be BS. I’m sure Obama will tour this week either with skis, snowshoes, or hockey stick....the global warming hockey stick????
No, no, yes and yes.
No, I don't think cc was right about deriding this story.
No, the press doesn't just cover the northeast. This winter I've seen them cover cold weather in the midwest, plains snow, and west coast mountain snow and rain.
Yes, I think the national news sucks in almost every way. They are destroying our country.
Yes, this was a big snow in a populated area worthy of coverage as even you seem to agree with.
When it comes to weather, the events I think don't get covered are the tornados that destroy the lives of largely freedom loving, fly over people who work hard and who love their country. And I would also add that the media, before the election didn't cover what really was going on after Sandy and they did it for political reasons of course.
