There’s something insidious about being a part of the Establishment Media.
The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.
Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.
“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,“ Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced—several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.“ »
Weather Channel Founder Blasts Network;
Claims It Is ‘Telling Us What to Think’
Of course TWC is “telling us what to think.“ For some reason the Establishment Media—which increasingly includes relatively “new” outlets like TWC—appeals to the kind of people who want to do that. When you have a large-audience one-way medium of communication, it’s very easy to convince yourself that you should be believed solely because you’ve got a towering soapbox and a huge megaphone.
A big audience and easily controlled channels for feedback just naturally lead to an inclination toward authoritarianism.
So, every last one of you needs to sit down and write a short, concise letter to The Weather Channel telling them you agree 100% with John Coleman. Because I said so.
