What the ... weather?!?!?!?

CBC News World shows a current vid of Halifax. NO snow. VERY clear. It is dark, 9:30ish PM. No snow or rain. Then they flash to a vid of people using snow blowers and talk about winter weather hitting Nova Scotia.

FUCK OFF! We, Halifax area, got jack shit in the way of winter weather today. Going from current to stock footage of a snow storm is not just misleading, it is deliberately obfuscating things and bull shit. Yes, we got high gusts of winds, and a little snow, flurries, but that is it. By using the stock footage you made things here seem a LOT worse than they actually were.

Thanks for being disingenuous CBC. This is a good example of why I don't trust the media. You will blow anything up for a "good" story. Fuck you!
