    Default Media outlets sticking Weatherman in Storms to tell you its raining

    I know its been happening since the advent of TV
    But i had to laugh after getting home, flicking on the TV to catch up with "Hurricane Dorian".... And here is a dumb ass American Weather man, standing out in the wind and rain, soaking wet, holding a microphone doing a 15min bit to camera...

    I guess standing under some shelter just doesn't cut it

    Reminds of this twat during Hurricane Irma



    Or this flog

    It's the same for everything.
    They have to be right where the fire was or the shooting or where the body was found or whatever, usually despite the fact it's all over.
    I'm fked if I know what the big deal is to be on the spot when all of their information comes from the cops media liaison or press conferences anyway.

    I wonder if the reporters for the radio are as stupid.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
