Default RE: weather men and women

I actually went out to the Hilton on the Beach when Jim Cantore was there, he asked if he could interview me, I said yes, the cameras started rolling, he asks what am I doing to prepare for this "storm".



It was at that point, I called him a Drama Queen, and responsible for $100,000's of lost revenues, and increased costs, just so he can improve the Nilson ratings on his pathetic "news" site.



That they falsely increase the severity of any given storm in order to drive people to their station, this improves viewership, and allows them to charge more for advertising, as the advertising charges are based on number of potential viewers.



Guess what, my interview didn't make it on to National TV.



Then I tried to get on with the locals, they wanted nothing to do with me, not even to ask me about why I said what I said to Cantore, it is all about the advertising dollar, more eyeballs pointed at the screen, more money charged to advertise on that channel.
