The media was much more concerned with a return to the glory days of "yellow journalism" with an alarmist bent.
I think it continues, today. All we have to do is notice it.
I'm of the belief that ANY weather forecaster who uses ANY extreme words like "terrible," "unbelieveable," "worst ever," and so on, should be charged under the PATRIOT Act as a terrorist. After all, aren't they trying to "terrorize" us (into listening to their commercials?) Me, I read the US Weather Service forecast (and watches and warnings) and go my way.
After all, the MAIN source of the sensationalism is that ALL the weather "persons" get their forecasts from there. The ONLY way they can say "Watch OUR weather news" is by dressing it up in their own manner.
Try reading the US forecast for your city and then listen to your local weather forecaster.
Any here's the REAL irony.... the US service relies on local forecasters (and of couse automated readings) to write their forecasts. They probably remove the hype... LOL!
P.S. Ever study systems with a negative feedback loop? That's the first topic when you study chaos theory.
//Class is now in order.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you a fine example of a negative feed-back loop.... The weather forecasting system in the US.
