The weatherman is trying to explain about the hurricane eyewall closing. Carol Costello (assuming all the viewers are idiots) says, CHAD, CHAD, CHAD, CHAD, what does that mean in simple terms? And "Chad" says "WELL IF YOU WOULD LET ME TALK!" and, exasperated, throws down his papers.

12. Guy talking about storm moving out of LA and "filling in with air" |
|
It makes little sense and the anchor starts to interrupt him asking him to explain. He keeps talking over her and finally says "Let me talk!!" she responds by saying "I don't know what that means, can you explain it for us who don't understand". He retorts and throws his papers on the floor like a little kid "Well, if you would let me talk!".

20. Some weatherman was very touchy |
|
The weatherman was talking about Katrina and the anchor was trying to interrupt in order to get an explanation. She kept saying, "Chad, Chad, Chad..." He yelled "Let me talk!" she said "I'm just trying to get an explanation." He threw down his papers and said "If you'll just let me talk!"

everyon's going off on the weatherman but i think the talking head bimbo should have kept her mouth shut and let him finish. she was being very rude. i'd have been annoyed if i were him too.
don't go after weathermen folks, they're not the ones lying to us, and when they get things wrong it's not because they're serving their corporate masters. the blonde barbie? that's the one who was an idiot in that clip.

Guy starts talking about Hurrican Camille and the desk jockey keeps interrupting him.
She asks if he can translate that and he shouts, "I would if you let me talk." Then he throws fis papers down. Not a really big deal, looks like the guy was just cracking under the pressure. A media performance orgasm of this nature puts a lot of stress on the animals.

37. Anchor Carol Costello interrupts Weatherman Chad Meyers |
|
and it clearly pisses him off.
Chad: ...it has filled in a little bit, filled in with some air...
Carol: (Over Chad) OK, but, Chad, Chad, Chad...
Chad: Let me talk, Carol!
Carol: Translate that for us, I don't know what that means.
Chad: *throws papers* Well if you would let me talk... Camile...

She didn't need to keep repeating his name and interrupting him. She could have waited until he finished his statement.
Moreover, this display of unprofessional behavior by both of them is outrageous. We have a damned emergency going on, and these lamebrains are playing egobaiting on a news network.

|
anything that requires discipline. These displays make me want to fire both of those parties - honestly, is it THAT impossible to sit in front of a camera with heavy makeup on and read a script? Is that woman so dense that she can't avoid interrupting people so that the entire nation can see who stupid SHE is?

He could have said, "I'll explain what that means in just a moment" or some other such nicety to make her look like the idiot she was being to interrupt. However, he behaved like a toddler.
