In Reply To: Who really cares anyway. I mean why do we talk about this so much and expect to put these people to such a higher standard. We don't care if someone calls themself a journalist without going to Journalism School. Should a J-School degree be something that sets a standard as well??? As long as someone can get the information out they work for me. Some hardcore mets that I've met have no business presenting the weather on TV.
Message: "Who really cares"? Lots of us do! Again, using a title when you haven't earned it is wrong. I have no quarrel with personalities doing weather, as long as they are not addressed as a member of a scientific profession. And when the information given out is bad or just plain wrong, who will disneyfreak and others in asimilar mindset turn to?
