Storm Coverage

It's amazing, but somehow worthless TV news becomes even more worthless during hysterical storm coverage. The news bobbleheads muscle aside regular programming for hours and give NO useful information. The goofball weatherclown slaps on his serious face, stands in front of his blue screen flapping his arms like a condor with its foot caught in a car door and just keeps squawking that the storm is bad. There's the constant, incredibly annoying scroll at the bottom of the screen for the ADD crowd that echoes pretty much everything the nitwit anchors keep repeating. There's stock footage of people who probably died in a storm twenty years ago nailing plywood to their windows and rolling the gas grill into the living room. There's always the cliched reporter stationed at the beach telling us we shouldn't be standing at the beach. I swear they could film ten minutes and just keep replaying it on an endless loop every storm, but Dennis Hopper might get wise to it and blow the bus up.
