Weather As News
MEMORANDUM
TO: ABC News Radio Division
RE: Weather as news
After listening to your national news broadcast on the radio today I have a bit of information that I wish to pass along. Here in the vast open spaces of fly-over country in the Upper Midwest, people do not, I repeat do not, give a flying frick that it's three degrees below zero in Boston today. We are also not interested in hearing a live piece by a ninny reporter about on how cold it is in Time's Square. We do not care that, even though the reporter "bundled up" and "put on the warmest clothes he owned", he was still cold. This is not news. This is what we live with all the time. Just because there happens to be a mild cold snap in the Northeast do not assume that anyone other than self-absorbed media types such as yourself is concerned. Because we aren't. Put on a hat and shut the hell up.
