I hate how news reporters are expected to be robots. And not human.
I saw one weather report where it's just a boring day, boring weather, but there was a golden retriever in the studio.
He came running over to the weatherman, and got excited to see him. Weatherman is petting the dog, still doing the weather, and laughing while doing it. Calm sunny day, mild weather, nobodys getting hurt because he's sitting on the floor, rubbing and hugging a dog. He still does the weather report, just with a dog.
He got fired. They aren't allowed to feel human.
So now you've got this, a very real, and very bad hurricane coming through, and this weather feels the need to apologize for feeling empathy, because of the way the entire industry acts. Can't laugh at a funny story. Can't mispronounce a word, or say the wrong word, or have human error.
No, you're a robot, who says the words. Any emotion is penalized. I think that sucks.
Maybe the climate crisis would be addressed if more weather reporters were brought to tears by the events they have to report.
Maybe that's why they're not allowed to...
The dude that lost it at the Hindenburg disaster was likewise fired.
was that the guy with the huge manatees?
