I never thought politics would intrude into the Weather Channel but I guess I was wrong...especially since it is now owned by NBC/Universal.

Yeah, I saw it this morning. I think it was Cantore extolling the virtues of O’s FEMA and dissing Bush.

Wouldn't "Weather Channel Remains Political" be more like it. At least 10 years now.

Can you say “Gore-ball Warming”?

Weather Channel blows with the prevailing wind and has been floating in the mainstream for quite some time.

They bought Wunderground . com (not linking) just a few weeks ago and are fast in to ruin it. But the owner is a global swarming douchebag who will look back in a year and say ‘what happened?’.

They have been for a long time.
They are firmly head up butt for global warming propaganda.
Isaac won’t be anywhere near Katrina in power and destruction, but they sure have been implying it’ll be real bad.

Nagin isn’t around to sit on his butt before fleeing to another state, is he?

TWC has been political for a long time. Weren’t they bought by NBC a short time back? I turned them off when Dr Heidi Cullen went on a witchhunt against those peers who would not subscribe to the Global Warming theories (fantasies).

I stopped watching TWC because of the ‘news’ feeds from PMSNBC.

That is surprising at first, but they are part of the NBCUniversal "family." Probably the office climate is such that hardly anybody there is voting Repubican this year.

The global warming programs were a result of company policy, but antics like this often come from twenty-something interns who don't know anything but the propaganda they learned in college.

One person has a passionate opinion, and the others (who might not have done the same thing themselves) don't actually disagree and aren't going to protest.

But, no, they aren't actually affiliated with the Weather Underground ...

TWC has been showing stock photo’s of flooding in between radar and the new “simulated radar” projections. About an hour ago they showed a stock photo of some flooding in a SC retail store featuring a kyiak being used inside the store, as they went to commercial the anchor exclaimed “Oh My the damage from Isaac is really being felt far and wide”.

The above was about as close to weather as it gets in this article before it turns completely to the subject of politics:

Though Republicans are intent on turning the campaign's focus back to the nation's sluggish economic growth and high unemployment, a comment Romney made on abortion reintroduced a topic that had taken over campaign discussion last week. In a CBS interview, he said he opposes abortions except "in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother."

WTF does abortion and a CBS interview have to do with "the Weather"?

24 hour propaganda, statist run media.

The Weather Channels lies and deceives viewers ...

Saturday, August 25.

Repeatedly Saturday afternoon TWC ran reports where they discussed the elevations above Sea Level of The Tampa Site’s involved in the RNC.

The Convention Center, 4 ft
The Forum, 6 ft
The Marriott Hotel, 6 ft, and the
Embassy Suites, 9 ft

The used ‘feet above sea level’ in these graphics.

TWC then moved on to use sea level rise graphics that showed penetration into the city streets of Tampa of flood water.

These charts are also visible on the web with Google, etc.
These charts are on the web IN METERS not feet. TWC graphics labeled web graphics that portrayed METERS 2,4,6 as FEET 2,4,6. This made it look like Tampa had hundred of blocks under water. Yet, TWC said 6 feet when the graphic was truly showing a 6 METER contour.

What a load of crap, that they have never corrected. Scare everyone with lies.

Did Seidel take the Cubano pool boy back to his posh hotel room “to protect him” as a “gracious” visitor might do?

A real humanitarian, that Fidel.

Didn’t the WC and Algore warn us about giant hurricanes due to AGW?

Why is Isaac a pissant Cat 1?

I was watching this morning and one of their weather babes on some beach somewhere said the following:

(paraphrasing but real close): While the Republicans will be celebrating, people will be suffering in Louisiana.

I came as close as I’ve ever come to throwing something at the TV.
