Weather Channel Accused of Pro-Weather Bias

Critic claims The Weather Channel shamelessly overreports stories on hurricanes and weekend forecasts at the expense of other news.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Filmed at McMurdo Station, where it is relatively sheltered by the surrounding hills. The weather down here is classified as being Condition 3 (nice weather), Condition 2 (not so nice), or Condition 1… My wife Christine is doing the talking. The clip appeared on the today show recently… www.msnbc.msn.com Check out my other youtube videos for more of life on the Ice. Blog: www.frozensouth.com Photos www.antarcticimages.com

    I always see onion videos 2 times:
    1)The first I pay attention to the reporters and the theme they discuss
    2)I read the moving text at the bottom of the screen. It’s always hilarious!

    We all know that the weather is a conspiracy by clothing manufacturers to require us to maintain three different sets of wardrobes. One for winter. One for spring and fall. and one for summer.

    And don’t forget how The Onion will be the ONLY EyeStream news outlet to report on the wild Giant Blood Red Beetle attacks 126 years from now! LOL!

  16. dumpsky says:

    @TheManofthefuture101 lol, you really deeply don’t get in the deepest deep kind of way. have a nice day.

  17. TheManofthefuture101 says:

    @dumpsky
    I don’t watch the Onion new cause it F***ing sucks so i can’t answer your comment

  18. dumpsky says:

    @TheManofthefuture101 “The Onion” was the only REAL news channel that reported about the human head that was found between lettuce and tomatoes in a whopper at burgerking, while the mainstream-media gave into the pressure of the the fast-food lobby and simply ignored it. what are your thoughts about that?

  19. dumpsky says:

    @TheManofthefuture101 i rest my case. you can’t be helped. you will never get it. so sad.

  20. dumpsky says:

    @TheManofthefuture101 imagine yourself in a circus, watching a magician doing some “magic” tricks. everybody in the audience is well aware that there is no “real magic” and therefor enjoys the illusion that it looks like it is magic. but somewhere in the 3rd row sits “TheManofthefuture101″ thinking to himself: “that guy who just pulled the rabbit out of his hat duped the whole audience into believing in magic! what a fraudster! and i’m the only one who gets it!” seriously, delete your comment.

    God, people are stupid, how could anyone think this is real…
    If you actually scrutinize other news outlets without loyalties, you’ll realize that they are ones who are imbalanced. In most cases, you’re lucky if there’s more than five minutes of weather coverage in a given hour. The weather channel is telling the stories that the mainstream anti-weather media doesn’t want you to know.

  22. TheManofthefuture101 says:

    @SGSHADOWOD
    No because this is the truth about Fake news if you hate that channel then don’t watch it!!
    it is comming out of your hard earned money just to watch cable tv and to watch this on the internet

  23. TheManofthefuture101 says:

    @dumpsky
    Well mr F***ing dumbass let me ask you do you actually beleive this crap i mean seriusly!!!

    @Antzarctica
    You don’t mind go there for sure.
    Even a researcher like you.
    Really respect russians to live there it’s so harsh there compared to McMurdo.

  31. Antzarctica says:

    @brainysnaeha Definitely Vostok is the coldest by far, even colder than the South Pole. But at the same time you don’t get the big winds deep in the interior. Black Island is probably one of the windiest spots, if the the windiest.

  32. brainysnaeha says:

    Weather wise McMurdo Station is a walk in the park.
    See the Vostok Station and you’ll know what’s Antarctica weather really like!
    Averages in june is -60 degrees celsius!

  33. brainysnaeha says:

    Search for McMurdo,Antarctica for daily weather forecast of this research station.

  34. laughomaniac says:

    Just wondering, what are you doing there? Research or just “chillin’”? har har har fail joke.

  35. ThunderHead72 says:

    What is meant when ‘Hell freezes over’…

  36. fowzie777 says:

    love that laugh!!!!

  41. jocaa666 says:

  42. HectorL360 says:

  43. TheJasminsoria says:

    she reminds me of my 6th grade teacher Mrs.Chittim :)

  44. etiendre says:

    @pauldawisp well anyway the video was very impressive, thanks for posting it, and thanks for the quick answer!

  45. Antzarctica says:

    @etiendre You are indeed correct, at the time I posted this I was reading off two charts that had different values posted. We basically use -100F / -75C as a guide.

  46. etiendre says:

    I thought condition 1 had to be -73C and below???

  47. tek5828 says:

    @Antzarctica nice thanks

  48. Antzarctica says:

    @tek5828 When the big storms hit we will string ropes between the buildings for emergencies, so if there was a fire we could follow the rope to another building.

    Got legitimately scared when that door opened
