Even Weathermen Lie to Support the Left

Today’s global warming news: The Weather Channel’s Mike Seidel was so determined to make us understand how bad hurricanes are, he pretended to have trouble standing up during Hurricane Florence…while unconcerned passersby strolled easily in the background of the same frame.

Why is this a global warming story? Because The Weather Channel is firmly behind the climate change hysteria. They are convinced that gases that make up roughly 1/1000 of our atmosphere are creating a natural catastrophe (which has not materialized), and that human beings caused the problem by burning things.

The Weather Channel just lied to us about the strength of the wind. Why should we expect them to tell us the truth about the climate?

It’s not a small matter. Burning things and creating gases that contain carbon is very important to civilization and progress. Ultimately, the creation of these gases is linked to things like prosperity, food production, and medical care. Discouraging the production of these gases threatens the standard of living of human beings all over the world, and it should not be done unless we are certain we have no choice.

Take a look at this hilarious video. Mike Seidel stands in a windy place, bracing and squirming as though he were having trouble standing. Behind him, people walk completely normally.

Here is The Weather Channel’s disgraceful, dishonest coverup statement:

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.

This is what we lawyers call “a lie.” Seidel is not trying to maintain his footing. He’s acting, badly. The video proves TWC employees deceive us on camera. The statement proves the organization lies to cover the deception.

In spite of this, we are required to believe them when they tell us a miniscule increase in carbon dioxide (an unavoidable symptom of progress) will kill us all in the near future.

Fermentation of corn for ethanol production produces a huge amount of carbon dioxide, yet greenies are all for it. I have never seen this issue mentioned on the news. It’s strange how they never talk about it. Have engineers fixed the problem? We don’t even know.

One of the funniest things about the video is that Seidel is leaning the wrong way. To stand up in a high wind, you have to lean into the wind. In the video, the wind is coming from the right. Seidel is leaning to the left! Give it up, man. You are BUSTED.

Excuses are coming from the left. Internet warriors are saying things like, “Mike Seidel is 61.” Apparently, when you hit 61, you become unable to tell which way the wind is blowing.

I wonder how John Kerry manages to windsurf without getting lost.

Here’s a similar video from the past. NBC reporter Michelle Kosinski uses a canoe to show how badly a street has flooded, and during the video, two people walk by…in water about 5 inches deep.

You can tell it’s an old video, because Matt Lauer is one of the anchors.

Kosinski later claimed her team originally tried to shoot in an area where the water was deeper, but they couldn’t get the lighting right, so they moved. First of all, I don’t believe liars. Second, if her story was true, the correct thing to do, as a journalist, was to get out of the canoe and do the story on foot. She tried to deceive viewers, regardless of how she ended up paddling in 5 inches of water.

Dan Rather could weigh in here.

All these videos need are shots of CGI polar bears drowning in seas that only exist inside computers. Why wait for news? If the truth doesn’t cooperate with you and give you the story you want to push, just make it up.

Seidel’s intentional deception is not the big story here. The big story is that his network and others are defending him. That’s the scary part. They’re not upset with him for lying. They’re upset because he got caught. Obviously, most of the time, lying journalists don’t get caught. Seidel’s experience suggests what we already know: leftist journalists treat us like suckers at sideshow games. They don’t care about the truth. They just want to make us believe what they want, so they can herd us like cattle.

Journalists are supposed to inform, not herd. There is no longer any distinction between journalists, publicists, and propagandists. I suppose there never was.

Mike Seidel is a liar, and he should be fired. So should Michelle Kosinski. They should have to go sit in a penalty box with Dan Rather and Brian Williams.
