This morning I was listening to NPR. They were talking about how the Weather Channel was giving storms names nowadays. For instance the big storm that is coming to the Northeast today, it's been named Nemo by none other than The Weather Channel! And you know what else? Since they are a broadcasting company, when these storms and tornadoes and other such catastrophes come along, they get the highest number of viewers and ratings. And you what else? Their revenues are the highest. And you know what I think? When we go to a channel to get important, sometimes crucial information for our safety, shouldn't it be void of any commercial interests?
