The launch of a Fox News weather channel has climate crisis experts concerned, report says

The upcoming launch of a new weather channel run by Fox News Media has some climate crisis experts deeply concerned, according to multiple reports.

The network, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, announced in December 2020 that it would debut Fox Weather, a 24-hour channel devoted to all things meteorological, by the end of the year.

The channel promises "cutting-edge display technology" with "forecasting experts surrounding every major weather event," according to a press release.

The channel will be led by six meteorologists, including Jason Frazer, Britta Merwin, Craig Herrera, Brigit Mahoney, Nick Kosir, and Stephen Morgan, the New York Times reported. Shane Brown, a meteorologist from The Weather Channel, already defected to Fox last month.

Is "cutting edge display technology" an oxymoron for sharpie diagrams ?

It's a propaganda outfit. Hard not to see that one coming with their proven track record.

Honestly, all the propaganda in the world can't turn the temperature down or stop a hurricane.
