5. Our local guy
who reaches hundreds of thousands of innocent souls, is a paid global warming scoffer. Added to the myopia of seeing "weather" in all its forms as the only picture and climate just as the superset that stretches to include the weatherman's geographical placement and huge "norm" parameters is deliberate corporate bias.

Corporate bias comes out in the total infotainment presentation where "weather" once innocently seen in its relevance to farm crops, is there for leisure and entertainment value. Nice sunny days, even in the midst of a drought, are praised with smileys and cheering and "records" are there for the perpetual edification of the spotless mind. it would take a long spate of "extreme weather" for any climate change to be recognized at all and with that kind of incredulous myopia, any causes off the meteorological maps simply cannot exist. We just got used to believing the trendy "El Nino" god into the pantheon. Human global warming is seen as too personally threatening to join in.

You might as well bring back the weather readers as allow the over performing meteorologists themselves to bully the screen on behalf of polluters.
