What do you think?
Now if the poll was asking whether The Weather Channel and some of the other channels had too much hype, then....well, yes. When a field reporter is saying that sustained winds are really blowing furiously, somewhere around 30mph (?@!?!), that doesn't impress me. 30 MPH...so what. It does that all winter in Albany. And when a field reporter is talking, stumbling and losing their balance...and then a citizen walks behind them pretty casually without any problem...it doesn't impress me. It tells me they are trying to sensationalize the story. Having been a TV Met. for 7 years, I know what the TV biz is all about. And my conclusion can be summarized as such: "Save the drama for your mama and just tell us and show us the facts". Unfortunately, some of the veteran Met's are guilty of this too.
Sheppard Smith did the same thing on Fox. He said something about "a hell of a lot of rain" and the studio hosts got kind of big eyed for a second.My wife whipped around and was like, "Did she just say a hell?"

Of course, that wasn't near as good as the guy on the street who told Smith that it was, "NONE OF YOUR FU**IN' BUSINESS!!" on air. :lol:
