Reporter plays up the hurricane while two dudes casually walk in the background
[Today Show correspondent pretends to paddle a canoe in deep water during live broadcast…and gets called out – 2011](https://youtu.be/cgm3_jzcNm4)
“Reporter.” More like fear inducing ratings hound… Reporters need to go back to reporting not making things up for ratings.
He needs to be careful throwing that shingle around. It could give someone a paper cut.
He’s careless when he wears his rebel clothes
That made me feel so awkward. I feel embarrassed for him.
>”Let’s see what happens when you throw it”
>Takes parabolic path
Best part is the wind is blowing the same direction that he is leaning.
You can get the official, more accurate info without wasting your time on over-dramatic reporters at [https://www.nhc.noaa.gov](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov)
This is why I don’t trust the news with extreme weather until it happens or I can see conclusive evidence. All week the reporters were saying how this could be one of the worst hurricanes in a long time and that it was going to be Category 4 and it hit land today at Category 1. Like wtf. They are so wrong.
Gotta love how at :55 he forgets to pretend he’s standing against the wind, and then he remembers again at :59.
And you all laughed when Trump called it fake news.
Maybe he just really has to shit.
literally fake news
Hah, 29mph is fuck all.
Folks, as someone who has worked in the TV/video news business, I hate to tell you: just about everything you see on TV is framed or exaggerated in a specific way to make it fit the point that the reporter is trying to make. Weather coverage is, by far, the worst example of this.
For kids who weren’t around in the 90s, *this* is what The Weather Channel used to be like before it was cable news-ified:
Notice the distinct lack of drama and ludicrous graphics:

God the press can’t even report the weather truthfully…
You think this is bad? At least he wasn’t reporting from a stage..

its like the reporters that don’t leave the base in iraq and slap 2x4s together off camera to sound like gunshots going off around them
One of the CNN reporters literally thrust his microphone into the wind today and said, “If this sounds dramatic, that’s because it is.” Dude, a breeze on a microphone sounds awful and loud. Who do you think you’re fooling?
Lol how embarrassing..
it looks like they may have stepped into the frame on purpose. they are just walking around aimlessly in the background.
There’s a name for this, you know:
Fake news.
fake news
Thank you for that! Well, it’s looks like a normal autumn day in Quebec ?
And then we as a society wonder why people choose to not trust the news…
/r/QuitYourBullshit
That is hilarious. Lot of dramatic acting there for TV ratings.
You can see the grass blowing the opposite direction of the wind he’s pretending to fight.
fake news.
The absolute best part is he is leaning in the direction the wind is blowing… What’s he supposedly leaning “against” ?
This is why I don’t even bother watching TV anymore. I read my local paper for local news and seek trust worth websites for my regional/national/world news.
Absolutely pathetic.
God this makes me embarrassed just to watch.
Shit like this causes riots and runs on stores and looting. All for ratings, what a dick.
If you’re going to be a lying liar who tells lies, at least have the sense to lean into the wind. We can all see which direction the plants are blowing.
“Plays up” = Fabricates fraudulent report.
While people are saying he is leaning in the wrong direction, I think he is actually leaning in the right, sensible, direction. If you think about it, you wouldn’t want to face against the rain and wind when your reporting if not it will all just get into your eyes and the mic, so instead you lean the same direction as the wind is blowing to use your body to shield your face and mic from the rain, and he stuck one foot out to prevent himself from getting push forward. So in actual fact I’d give his acting 9/10
Fake news
The news is just another show.
It looks like the camera guy is just sick of this guy’s fake shit and decided to make him look like the fraud he truly is. Good job, camera guy! My kinda grump!
“We’re also reporting cases of rapes and murders amoung the town!”
“You’ve seen people being raped and murdered?”
“No, we haven’t seen any of that, we’re just reporting it.”
I know there are eddies and whorls, but judging by the way the wind is affecting the vegetation, he’s not even leaning in the right fucking direction.
This is how they justify those mandatory evacuations. Storms are never as strong as they claim by the media and the government. Saving face and proving their forecast was accurate is more important than honest reporting.
I’m glad this is going viral. People need to stop trusting everything they see on the news, because it is very often fake news like this
News is a business.
Left or right, rep or dem, CNN or Al-Jazeera… it’s all to make money.
Fuck integrity. We all got bills to pay.
Cameraman is the best, he zoomed out to better capture this moment.
Welcome to the weather on CNN.
Listen man when I feel the wind I fucking feel it man.
It just goes to show that anything on TV is what they want you to see.
It even says “ wind 28 mph”. Child please.
How do some of these weather reporters keep their jobs when they give us these crazy reports?
Fire the idiot!
This shit actually hurts people, because the next time there’s an actually serious storm fewer people will believe their TVS.
More honest reporting from crappy news outlets.
Can’t believe this is still going on!! :))))
It’s sad that this is the world we live in.
He’s wobbling back in forth like a character in a fighting video game.
The news is a joke.
This is near my house, we can’t be the only ones who drove by this guy and shouted “Stop faking!”.
Fake news
Wow
He stopped being a reporter and is an actor now. And that show stopped being news and is entertainment now.
This is why no one believes the media. They even lie to us about the weather.
Fake news
Wouldnt one lean *against* the wind if it was strong enough to disrupt balance?
Hilarious
The whole idea that you need a reporter on the ground of a natural disaster says a lot about our society.
Fake news!! You lie!!!
The Weather Channel froths at the mouth when anything even remotely close to a weather disaster happens. All of a sudden they are one of the big dogs in the 24hr news cycle for at least a 2 day period.
A good metaphor for how the media works in general.
Should be fired for this type of thing. There are legit weather reporters who risk their lives to report on the strongest hurricanes we have ever had. Then you have this dick pretending the storm is stronger than it is. Fake news.
Holy shit the camera guy is not having it! Those two guys come walking, he zooms out to include them. Then at 0:42 reporter picks up a piece of wood and chucks it to demonstrate… something and the the camera guy audibly huffs a laugh!!!
Is anybody else concerned about what certainly appears to be a journalist lying? Is this a systemic thing, or is it just that one guy??
So much criticism. We can’t see his shoes, maybe he’s just wearing high heels and have no grip.
One of my favorite embellished moments.

How embarrassing
Journalism has become a joke all over the world, with jokers posing as journalists what else can one expect.
Media is so full of shit that they even act the part.
Talk about fake news!!!
Fake news?
So, I have to pay attention to the wind for the job I work. I don’t know if the numbers at the top left are in fact what the reporter is currently experiencing, but it is definitely not enough to cause that kind of trouble he is pretending to have.
Well I’ll be damned, Trump was right… they are fake news
LoL, that frikin hilarious. I wounder how many times reporters have faked this kind of thing?
FAKE NEWS
Just goes to show how American media tries to instill fear
