The CBS and NBC affiliates are at it again. They are insulting the intelligence of two and a half million Saint Louis area residents to put up a thunderstorm warning for a county that is closer to Indiana than it is to Saint Louis. There is a thunderstorm warning in effect for Clay county, Illinois until seven this evening. But, my guess is there are less than three thousand tvs in the entire county and most of the people are watching their local affiliates and not stinko channel four.
I am trying to watch golf as are literally tens of thousands of other St. Louisans and the CBS affiliate channel four, has insisted on slapping it's logo on the lower left hand corner of my screen. Hey channel four you are supposed to be programming in the public interest not your station promotion now that ratings month is underway.
And just to see if the bozos are at it, I flipped over to channel five and not only are they putting up their station logo covering the lower left corner of the screen, but they are insulting us even further. They are running a crawl across the bottom of the screen telling us that a severe thunderstorm watch for Saint Louis and it's surrounding counties is in effect until seven tonight. Gee, someone tell Cindy Pressler that storm watch has been in effect since 11:30 this morning and only a retard would not get it by now.
Bottom line, this is all about ratings folks and the local stations are using your TV screen as a way of promoting their dumb ass weather tools. If you don't like this write the FCC and tell them that KSDK and KMOV are not programming in the public interest as they are required to by the government.
