Serious question for the thread.
Is The Weather Channel guilty of massive over-hype on this storm? Could they be accused of incessantly yelling “hurricane” and trying to panic everyone?
How close are they to the classic definition of unprotected speech - “falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater”?
