TYT: Leftist Masterminds Behind East Coast Blizzard Says Rightist Mastermind



“Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh argued on Monday that the National Weather Service (NWS) has been compromised politically, Media Matters reported.

“It’s been a horrible, horrible year for forecasts. And the reason is, if i can cut to the quick, the left has corrupted everything,” Limbaugh argued. “Just like the left has corrupted the ‘professoriate’ — the faculty at major institutions of higher learning — the left has populated all of these bureaucracies. The Department of Commerce runs the National Weather Service, and do not believe that they’re not politicized.”

Limbaugh said that a number of record-breaking storm predictions by meteorologists had already been proven “this year alone,” but did not name any specific instances."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur & Ben Mankiewicz break it down.

#0 sez: "'Bad year for weather forecasting'? You don't suppose climate change could have affected the models at all, do you Pig Boy?"

I first heard him when he was on KFBK in Sacramento over 25 years ago. I was driving down the freeway and couldn't believe it. At the time I was struck by his delivery-it was pure hate and propaganda. There was no attempt to debate or engage the audience in an educational discourse. I wondered how someone like this could be blasting out over the air waves on a big radio station. How did he get there?

Figure their version of reality has been getting ever more divergent with the rest of the world's since the 50s.
