This is like the fourth day in a row that the lead story on NBC News morning and night has been It's Cold Outside! Yeah, I can tell. What does yet another taped report of tiny vignettes from around the country do me?
The most annoying part is the reporters trying to outdo each other with "arctic blast!" lingo to express how dramatic it is.
This week NBC reported--I'm not making this up--that HALF THE COUNTRY was experiencing temperatures well below normal! Shocking. Doesn't the concept of averages dictate that on any average day half the country will always be below normal? So the "well below" makes it colder than average, but since temps vary, isn't it pretty common for days with half the country well below or well above?
Yeah, it's cold. It's not an ice age.
Meanwhile, still more coverage of the failed bombing, when we knew nearly all of it in the first few days? The bomb failed, right?
