Oregon Media Insiders

I just graduated from University of Washington and have my Bachelor's in Meteorology. I've lived in Oregon my whole life for the most part and TV is full of morons who claim to be Meteorologists.

CH 2 (KATU): Everybody there is "supposedly" one, but from the way they talk, they couldn't explain the difference between a gust front and a tornado. None of them are REAL meteorologists. The good-looking blonde on there says that it's "moisturing". What is that? Can't you just say rain without making yourself look stupid? "We should get 1/4 inch of moisture." hahahaha. Yup, next time we have a flood, I guess it won't be called a flood...it will be an excess of moisture or something. We have puddles of moisture. haha, what morons!!

CH 6 (KOIN): Biggest laughing stock! Bruce has his degree in Broadcast Journalism...and KOIN made him Chief Meteorologist? hahaha!!! What a joke! That is the definition of an insult to the science of Meteorology. "Hi, I'm chief, but I can't tell you how a tornado forms, how a rain drop forms...etc." No wonder their ratings are in the toilet. He was a dumpster diver on KGW...since when have you EVER heard a REAL meteorologist diving in a dumpster doing a story on anything???

They used to have REAL meteorologists in Jim Little, Mark Nelson, Phil Volker. They were the real deal! That was when I used to watch them. When that one guy from Louisiana came, that's when they went downhill because he didn't know what he was talking about either.

Ch 8 (KGW): Matt Zaffino is a REAL meteorologist and he's good! Ron Pederson is as well, but he's only a "fill-in", which doesn't make much sense.
Dave Selesky...what a joke! I call him Damp Dave, because it's ALWAYS damp according to him. His forecasts are the most predictable that I have ever seen. Partly Cloudy is in there every single day. When it is actually sunny, it's FAIR to Dave. Fair? In 4 years of Meteorology school, the only time I heard "fair" was for "fair weather cumulus clouds". Dave says it's FAIR SKIES when it's sunny out. Didn't anybody tell him that there's only 1 sky? Then, fair is so vague, it's just stupid to use. So, whenever he says FAIR SKIES, it's sunny/mostly sunny outside. Oh wait, I forgot, it's been completely overcast and he's said FAIR SKIES too. There you go...Dave Selesky...as clueless and stupid as Bruce Sussman.

Then there's Joe Michaels...I could go on about him, but I don't feel like it. He and Bruce Sussman are in a dead heat for the dumbest people on TV that I can't believe are actually called Meteorologists when they're NOT EVEN CLOSE to being one.

Jim Donovan...clueless, not a Meteorologist, even though CH 8 calls him one. CH 8 calls EVERYONE a Meteorologist. Keely Chomers is one and she's a reporter. I bet the janitors would be Meteorologists too.
