These guys in the nooze media are getting as slippery as climate scientists. And then they wonder why we don’t believe them anymore.
Observe the noozie trying to make headway against an overpowering wind. Now observe the people in the background, who aren’t affected by the wind at all.
But wait! There may be a rational explanation! Either the noozie is phenomenally weak, or the people in the background are superheroes with superhuman strength. Take your pick.
Don’t misunderstand me: I’m not predicting that Hurricane Florence is going to just fizzle out. I have no idea what it’s going to do. But then I’m not a meteorologist, am I? It might be tremendously destructive. Or it might not.
My problem is, I don’t know how much of the hurricane news reporting to believe. And a big reason why I have that problem is news reporting like… this:

To hear the noozies tell it, Hurricane Patricia was going to tear Florida loose from North America and sink it in the mid-Atlantic. Next thing you know, they were downgrading it to plain old bad weather.
Highly sensationalized, highly politicized “news” is almost as useless as pure ignorance–and much harder to fix.
