K, I ask because a lot of times, temperatures on a 7-Day are going to be geared toward the city the station is in. There could be big swings in other areas depending on geography. I don't know how they give the forecasts, but usually, many will try to make it as specific as possible through each town when forecasting rain chances, snow accumulation and temperature differences. Some forecasts are going to be a bust since this is predicting the future at the end of the day, and sometimes every model is way off (not often, but it happens) so you have to be really impressive making adjustments to correct them, but if everything is wrong, you might just be watching a bad station lol.

Not really.

Depends which ones. I'm amazing. James Spann is really good at severe weather reporting. Weather channel app is basically one model. Meteorologists are looking at all models and making adjustments. What's your market and are you close to the news station or in a distant county?

Yeah, the whole argument revolved around my old news director. Side note: what's up with people mentioning users in a thread they already post in?

It's my objective analysis of the people who are crying media bias. I'm just saying: this is a discussion I've had with these people for years and years. This conversation ITT revolves around the entire media supposedly creating a false narrative instead of reporting. If the argument is just that some liberals on TV thought Trump was guilty, then it doesn't really matter and it's nothing new or special.

I know; I clicked through all the spoilers. But I also don't think people realize that my interests cover the whole field. I have a lot to contribute to media talk.

I've won three journalism awards and do meteorology/reporting. That's why my raise was really good.

What I'm saying is the liberal hosts are always opposed to most Republican policy. The hard news people like Brian Williams will get fired on a dime for one made up story. There's an expectation that even your morning news shouldn't inject their opinions into the stories. The "fake news" typically involves hard news stories uncovered by papers like the New York Times or Washington Post. They talked to sources, Trump says the sources are made up and the story didn't happen, ergo "fake news." He's not calling an MSNBC host's reaction to the news fake. For decades, even in Watergate when Nixon's administration said the Washington Post was making stuff up about the scandal (lol), they were talking about an editorial slant in the hard news. Listen also to, say, Bill O'Reilly's defense of Fox News when he was a host, that in a newspaper you get your news and then there's the editorial section (Fox News opinion hosts in the evening). Fox News made that very case in defense of themselves. "MSM" was a term thrown around in 2004 quite a bit, notably in regards to the story Dan Rather shared about George W Bush's military service. The story wasn't real, bad information, and on nightly news of all places where everything should be correct. The conservatives who used to post here would make the same point over and over again. Engel, BostonAOD, it was always the same argument. The news media has many issues, one of which was actually overdoing Hillary's emails without even understanding what any of it meant and the fear of being called bias, therefore amplifying bad conservative arguments.

That's different than what conservatives have been campaigning on for decades in regards to media bias. That's why Dan Rather gets fired for one thing. That's an expectation even they have for hard news hosts, which is why they dismiss guys like Limbaugh as conservative shock jocks, not reporters.

It's really not. I was shouted down years ago on this board about this very thing. "NYT is calling it the 'so-called' surge. That's what I mean; I don't care about Rush Limbaugh."

I'll check him out some time. I appreciate the Shapiro link. When I got to this part: I lol'd at "pusillanimous cowards." I remember learing that adjective while studying for the SATs like a true intellectual. I always thought pusillanimous meant you were a coward. Shapiro strikes me as the flight attendants George Carlin complained about who say "boarding process."

Again, receipts. Don't just make things up; you're accusing every media organization and the only thing you could pull was a few editorials. Where did CBS Evening News pump up Mueller as someone who would get rid of Trump and save us from a presidential nightmare? Because so far, all I'm seeing is you arguing that the media shouldn't have even covered it. Don't tell me you understand the investigation quite clearly; show me. You clearly did not know the difference between compromised and colluded; you're shifting goal posts to make it seem like you thought that. It's not about disagreeing; it's what it is. That's why Fox News defends itself by saying, "Our news isn't biased because Fox & Friends and our opinion hosts aren't news." Have you ever actually argued with a conservative before? To my face, one of my first news directors said, "No, Glenn Beck isn't what I'm talking about. Mainstream media is the New York Times, Washington Post, etc. etc." The accusation is the hard news is biased when it's supposed to be neutral. That they dislike Maddow doesn't mean they think she's a hard news reporter. Also, I have roots in NYC and Long Island. Long Island isn't "very very deep-red." It's redder than what's west of it, but 51-44 is kinda red, and that's only Suffolk County, not Nassau. Suffolk voted for Obama both times as well, which is hardly deep red. I live in a redder area than you and a redder state than you and a redder region of the country than you. EDIT: I know it seems I'm giving you a hard time, but as someone who is in news and has his own problems with news reporting, what you're saying does not match up with what happened. It's a simplistic view that Republicans hold that you're eating up.

Yeah, usually when you make a claim, you don't hand out google links and expect people to do the work for you. You don't know what you're talking about because you're basically saying the news shouldn't have reported on a special counsel investigation involving foreign interference and the potential for collusion within the highest levels of government. You've argued that we shouldn't quote congresspeople's takes on the investigation, and even though many around the president were indicted, and his associates like Roger Stone are accused of contacts with Russia, and his lawyer is going to serve a prison sentence, that any reporting on this shouldn't have happened. That is insane. That's the only conclusion I can make from your posts because you don't seem to actually understand what the investigation is (Trump doesn't have to collude to be compromised), and you don't understand what conservatives mean when they talk about the media. Their arguments have been that hard news is biased; the only thing you were able to do was link to editorials or Rachel Maddow. That's not "MSM." Trump isn't "kinda right;" he's just a wimp when it comes to the news.

Yeah, lots of alcohol and drugs. DDP has a yoga program which has helped to rehabilitate wrestlers from Scott Hall to Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

I honestly think, despite Hall having sobriety issues, he looks better than Shawn. Shawn went from the "Heartbreak Kid" to a normal-looking guy in his 50s who lives in the south, imo. I think part of that could simply be the amount of wrestling he did in the 2000s.

Gun control = gun grabber (NRA language, not language in intelligent disource) Third-trimester abortion exceptions including life of the mother = killing an actual infant (which is what the word means) Enforcing current law instead of diverting money to build a dumb wall = no countries ???

Yup. The level of desperation to find a conservative intellectual is always amusing, though.

I just realized. I heard on NPR today that they invested in an AI company. https://www.marketplace.org/2019/03/26/business/mcdonalds-betting-ai-will-help-it-sell-more-burgers

Whoa, that's... interesting.

I make losers feel lonely and hysterical. Because I'm a winner. I also can't lose with Trump in office.

Exactly. I saw remarkableriots upvote a post up there and I'm like, "Phew, I feel good about my worldview now."

And this was one of those times when I found him lame too, even if I think people arguing with him were making decent points. That's why I said I "won" the debate pages ago because I didn't really feel like dragging it out at the time. I told Jason once that nobody cared about mega-threads, and then said, "Debate over. I win." I'm not serious; I'm actually quoting an old IGN debate between sexy-allen and Derek when Derek said that and everyone congratulated him. I may be one of 5 people who remembers that.
