"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? |

My point is who cares about the title of mets when we don't care when a reporter calls themself a Journalist without having a Journalism degree. I think if we are going to post qualifications for one group of TV professionals we should do it for all of them!!!What about sports guys, who is going to police them to make sure they are not calling themselves somehting they haven't earned in school. Look at all the stations around town that hire people straight from reality TV. Do these so called "Journalists" have more skills than a person who has a degree in the field???
