Can't you read?!?

I'm specifically refering to the snowstorm and the media coverage here in Southern New England, where it's NOT a big deal, there are NOT millions without power, and nearly all the schools are NOT closed. Yet the media continued to irresponsibly lead with the weather story as if the future of Western civilization hinged upon it (to dishonestly boost ratings of course).

By the way, what the heck is a "debbil"?
