In saying what I am about to say I am by no means demeaning these news stories because they are tragic or near tragic, and indeed deserve to be talked about on the Cable News Network, Fox News, or other outlets that cover headline news.
However, I am still trying to figure out how it is breaking news for the Weather Channel if a plane crashes, a person is bit by a shark, or a little boy is is buried in sand? These are stories that are worthy of headline news, but have little to nothing to do with weather, but each one was covered as breaking news this evening by the Weather Channel.
In fact a plane crash report superseded that of severe weather in Tennessee and Florida with the plane crash being covered at the top of the 7pm central hour before any mention of the potential for severe weather in the country.
Why is this on TWC? Why can people not tune into the CNN or Fox to get this type of information and let the Weather Channel cover weather headlines (like it is supposed to do?)
Any comments?
