Showtime!

It's Showtime! Or should I say Snowtime. It's Blizzard '09. No, no one has named it yet but I can feel the hounds (newstations) all elbowing each other to figure out when is the right moment to name it and be the first station to do it. Every year we have at least one bad snow storm and many other small ones. Why is it that every time it snows more than an inch the media circus comes out to play? All other news is nonexistent due to the snow being a more "pressing matter". Reporters are predicting they will be losing sleep and doing it all over tomorrow. Again, Why?!?! Did you not spend an additional two hours (cutting of Good Morning America) saying how bad the weather is today and will be bad tomorrow too? Were the interviews with the people who "survived" the weather not good enough? Were the hand measurements of reporters all over the city not accurate enough? Or was over 400 school and business closings not proof that just maybe the weather is bad? The horse has been beaten to dog food. There is no need for overtime reporters! It is as if the reporters went home and stop reporting the snow, the sun will instantly come out and melt it all away and any additional moments of glory. And if two additional hours of "news" (use of that term is very loose here) wasn't enough, they had the nerve to cut into Tyra, my refuge from the snow. In the words of my former employer Citi (who is not closed today), the news should just keep it "business as usual".

Yeah, I said it! And the snow did not stop it!
