What, exactly, is happening with the media these days? Are these local television affiliations even covering news - real news?
The last 2 days have been filled with all of the usual hype over an approaching storm. Forecasts, computer model trend analysis, 20 year March statistical data, all of the latest gimmickry displayed through High Definition CGI. Granted it did possess all of the ingredients for quite an impact up and down the front range and to some extent lived up to the dire forecast. It caused a delayed opening for the school district, and I hear out on the plains the interstate is closed. I’m sure it caused injury and even death for a unfortunate few. But, the storm really was just another little, rain to sleet to snow, spring storm with no huge impact for Denver as predicted.
ANYWAY, last night the leading news story was “We’re still waiting for the storm.” with side commentary stories on how the DOT was preparing, what type of solution was or was not going to be used and so on. I was under the impression that the good old USofA was celebrating the 3 year anniversary of Operation Iraqi Screw-Up. I would imagine that to be a pretty juicy story...full of objective and subjective commentary. Pretty risky.
Hey, let’s just go sledding instead.
