Apparently you both missed the oil rush. Like CNNH is more populated Perhaps by the end of March the Nations coldest long term cold outbreak in history and its a sidebar.

Again the point being if it were +38 you would be all over it I would be all over it? I don't care either way...whether it's a chinook or a fake cold high. Being landlocked up there gives them some big extremes. Havre was +7 in Jan before pulling the -28 in Feb. I don't think some news weenie in NY really cares....they just figure MT/ND are supposed to be cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the climate is warming no doubt but the media agenda is self serving and exploitative. We will all be dead in 12 years anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much more than what we’ve heard about the cold anyways. What I would say is that if it were +4 in DC or NY.....you would hear a lot more about it, vs -37 in Brown Bear country. That’s just population bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldest departures on the entire globe in our country, not just Montana Dakotas but nothing to see here. Just watch the news when its plus 35 up in that area. Its been so obvious for several years now that once the mass media jumps on something they keep it going for ratings no matter the facts. Across all spectrum of society not just weather.

Lemmings gonna lem Thank you Ginxy for bringing this to light....it is so true, now more than ever. If it was super warm there they'd have Bill Nye and all these climate experts on cable news explaining how it's the end of the world....but if its super cold in red-leaning states......oh well who cares, doesn't fit the agenda like you say.

It's the media's focus on the coasts that's the issue here. Not loving warm over cold.

There have been tons of really epic warm patterns in the plains and upper midwest that have gotten little attention. If Great Falls, MT was +40 for the month no one would care just like no one cares that they're -40F. It's geographic bias. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Take for instance us last February when it got to 77F. We had one reporter on warm weather and people enjoying the warmth. I did a sidebar about climate change and warmer days becoming more common in a warming world, etc. Fast forward to the day with record cold this year and we had 2 meteorologists on it and 3 reporters talking about pipes, cars, waterspouts, little johnny freezing at the bus stop, etc. There's no question that unusual winter cold gets far more media attention than winter warmth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about LA never hitting 70 for the first time in Feb. Yea pretty silent. Sad state of the hype media. Hard to even watch NBC nightly news with the agenda driven stuff.

Lol lets look back at the reality of reporting in Feb nationally. Local news is local for the most part, no one sees the agenda there like the national big boys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any agenda besides a clear population/geographic bias and focusing on what's more impactful. I've seen ton of coverage of the atmospheric river events in SoCal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best journalists are investigative and we are lucky here in CT to have some fantastic ones.
