...he knows damn full well he messed up when yesterday he was all about the storm plowing straight into Galveston and Houston and the possibility of strengthening ... ranting and raving about devastation, destruction, billions of dollars ... yeah nice going smart guy ...
It seems to me quite a few members on this board made a mistake as well...
The guy is only doing his assigned job - and the job isn't to say "well, I think it MIGHT hit here"... The public (and ratings) want a specific target location, and that's what Accuweather is out to do. They are a business, not a non-profit organization - therefore they MUST and should be expected to give the viewers what they want. The fact is, if Accuweather didn't make outlandish claims, FOX may not have outsourced them to do the job.
Do you honestly expect a company to say "Yeah, NHC is better than us, in fact you can visit their website here:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov\"?
I can understand being upset at the management for making their on-air mets gloat, but it seems you have a very personal grudge against Joe, may I ask why?[/b]
