I hate how news reporters are expected to be robots. And not human.
I saw one weather report where it’s just a boring day, boring weather, but there was a golden retriever in the studio.
He came running over to the weatherman, and got excited to see him. Weatherman is petting the dog, still doing the weather, and laughing while doing it. Calm sunny day, mild weather, nobodys getting hurt because he’s sitting on the floor, rubbing and hugging a dog. He still does the weather report, just with a dog.
He got fired. They aren’t allowed to feel human.
So now you’ve got this, a very real, and very bad hurricane coming through, and this weather feels the need to apologize for feeling empathy, because of the way the entire industry acts. Can’t laugh at a funny story. Can’t mispronounce a word, or say the wrong word, or have human error.
No, you’re a robot, who says the words. Any emotion is penalized. I think that sucks.

I don’t typically research internet claims but I couldn’t find any story or example that was reported that could confirm what was described.
So it is purely anecdotal, or possibly made up without further proof or evidence.
The dude that lost it at the Hindenburg disaster was likewise fired.

Maybe the climate crisis would be addressed if more weather reporters were brought to tears by the events they have to report.
Maybe that’s why they’re not allowed to…
We’re about to remember why the weather was considered an act of the gods in ancient times.
Insurance Companies: What do you mean “ancient times”??
Insurance companies: we won’t cover your area anymore because it’s not profitable. Sucks to suck… Ps your last premium payment is due on the first.
I’m right in the track of the eye. Metal shutters in place! Hope I see y’all Thursday!
My family are in St Pete. Hope you’re on high enough ground. Get out if you aren’t.
East Tampa here. Luckily not in an evacuation zone. I hope you and your family are well and making preparations. Meet you again here on Thursday!
I’m watching with bated breath from Seattle. Hope you fare well.

Wishing you all the luck.
Thinking of you as well as my best bro in Cape Coral! The Gulf Coast is getting fucking SLAMMED recently!
Found the journalist ⬆️
Lmao! I didn’t even realize I did that, 😂. I’ll send my resume to NYT right away.
My buddy tried to tell me that Ian was a “Once every 20 years storm” and I tried to tell him “Not if climate change isn’t mitigated, it isnt.”
I just never expected it to be back to back like this!
Thoughts and prayers 💀
…why? What’s happening Thursday?
The storm will have past and the survivors will log into Lemmy
All of them.
You’ll still have internet?

Stay safe, friend! Hoping for the best.
Remember, don’t flee into your attic, or if you do bring an axe or a way to break through.
Scuba tanks ready?
We have some snorkels!
All is well, shutters worked great
The only thing i can think about for this one is Office Space Milton
First google result lol
I live in Milton, FL, and like the last one, we’re 100% dodging this one. Weird.
Hurricane Milton wouldn’t attack his namesake, that’s just bad form
It’s the good lords way of apologizing for your close proximity to Alabama
LOL, I can get to Alabama faster than I can the beach.
