[Law Man]

Sad day in America.

As bad as the video is, what is worse is that the Weather Channel tried to defend this man by saying he was standing on grass, and the individuals walking by were on concrete.

From the article: 

The Weather Channel defended Seidel saying he was “trying to maintain his footing on wet grass” while the two people seen in the background were walking on concrete, The Washington Post reported. “It’s important to note that the two individuals in the background are walking on concrete, and Mike Seidel is trying to maintain his footing on wet grass, after reporting on-air until 1:00 a.m. ET this morning and is undoubtedly exhausted,” the channel said in a statement.

Is the reporter so intellectually inept (stupid) that he couldn't just report from the safety of the concrete 5 feet behind him? Does anybody buy the Weather Channel's excuse for this intentional deception? The media really does think we are just that stupid. They get caught in deception, then try to spin out of it with an excuse that is just as much, if not more lame than the original deception. In a just world the reporter and the spokesman for the Weather Channel would be fired immediately.

This is not the first time I have seen sensationalized weather reporting. I have to admit this was pretty lame.

I kinda expected the guy to take off his hood to reveal he was Geraldo Rivera.
