The two television studios are separated by a wall with a sliding-glass door.
In one, Colorado-based meteorologists track snowstorms, hurricanes and day-to-day conditions around-the-clock for viewers of WeatherNation, a channel airing forecasts on smart TVs and streaming devices.
The other broadcasts shows on the conservative network Real America’s Voice, one of few remaining news platforms where false election fraud claims and other conspiracies get airtime. It airs Stephen K. Bannon’s show “War Room”.
The two networks’ shared ownership has alarmed some meteorologists, who say that WeatherNation is helping to legitimize the extreme viewpoints aired on Real America’s Voice. These critics also argue that in its own coverage, WeatherNation fosters climate change skepticism by shunning any mention of the established links between human-driven climate warming and the disasters the channel covers, thus discouraging viewers from considering the consequences of climate change.
Steve Bannon was deplatformed. An obscure media mogul keeps him on the air. But even some of the straight-news weather channel’s own employees are uneasy about its right-wing sister network.
Ten current and former WeatherNation employees who spoke with The Washington Post described a discomfort with the programming produced next door — as well as with an understanding that they should refrain from on-air references to climate change, despite the scientific consensus on how it influences on global weather extremes.
WeatherNation executives did not deny that their programming avoids any mention of climate change, an issue the Weather Channel and even Fox Weather have highlighted as global warming increases the likelihood of severe storms, wildfires and drought.

Bannon’s Warroom is the #1 podcast. He’ll have some fun with this today.
10 current and former indoctrinated puppets
Hahahaha, they only talk about what’s important!

An island of sanity in a clown world. I hadn’t heard of Weather Nation. I’ll check it out.
Just added it to my weather sites :-)
Just added it to mine, too. Never heard of them before, so I guess I should thank the WaPo.

Thank God.
The climate change/ c19 screeching is getting more annoying and irritating and profuse every day.
I’m really grateful for a non political weather channel.
I had gone to my window channel and it’s view is limited.
Extreme viewpoints? 😂😂😂😂🖕
How dare they foster any type of skepticism, scientific or political. Just trust the government.
Channel 215 on Dish Network.
It’s the only weather I watch.
‘Climate change’ is bullsh*t. End of story.
“But even some of the straight-news weather channel’s own employees are uneasy about its right-wing sister network.”
So quit.

From the washington compost straight to you.
“proven climate change” BS
Propaganda 101: Claim that your source of information is authoritative (by using fake evidence or no evidence at all).
A weather station that does not politicize the weather - imagine that.
Meteroroligists are apparently "alarmed" that some of their brethren may be allowed to think for themselves?
Seems to me that there is only one standard that should be applied to meterologists. Whose forecasts are the most accurate?
I check the weather at least once a day on my laptop. I’ve bookmarked this for use and have discarded the legacy weather sites.
This is what I have always wanted, weather without the watermelon (green on the outside, red on the inside) indoctrination.
Thank you, Washington Post! I can now argue with those who say that everything printed in the Post is garbage.
🙄😬🤢🤮 🤣
