If you watch the early morning news on the TV networks,
particularly channels 2 (WCBS), 4 (WNBC), and 7 (WABC), then you know about the
overload of weather that comes forth from the so-called weathermen.
They seem to report every ten minutes more or less and it is
a show about the weather. They throw in the traffic to make it more
comprehensible for commuters, but the concept has gotten out of hand.
Today I will be giving you a ranking of the weathermen as I
see them in their jobs. The stations need to bear up to the response that these
morons are on.
Let's look at case #1, WNBC's Rick Cimino. No one is better
when delivering the weather. He does it without dramatics that point to
himself, and when he is done, you know about the weather, smoothly delivered.
He knows his stuff and doesn't need to give a personal show all about himself.
Following behind Mr. Cimino is Bill Evans of WABC. A likable
guy with a proclivity for delivering the weather. Not always, but most times.
Likeable, personable and mostly accurate. Seems to break away from his assigned
task once in a while, but not offensive.
Behind Mr. Evans is the annoyance of early morning weather.
I'd rather stand in gale force winds, with blizzard conditions and freezing
temperatures than listen to this knucklehead. He seems to think that the
morning news is about him, that he is cute and funny. He's not.
Can't we just get a report on the weather without the
theatrics and stupid comments?
GIVE ME A BREAK!
