Screw you, AccuWeather, and your so-called "weather advisory"!

[LaraMN]

"High winds" until seven p.m, huh?

It's hardly even blowing anymore! What a crock!

Once again, AccuWeather ruins my entire life.

7. I haven't used Accuweather since they and their crony Rick Santorum tried to screw us all over

Accuweather is based in Pennsylvania and was a major campaign contributor to Rick Santorum.

The National Weather Service is a free service provided by the goverment. Oddly enough after Rick received a nice fat donation from Accuweather, Santorum decided to introduce a bill that would take away government funding for National Weather Service. In fact Rick made it a point to blame the NWS for all the problems Katrina called.

If NWS wasn't available or wasn't funded enough to provide accurate weather, then news organizations would have to buy their weather reports from a source like Accuweather

BAD WEATHER?
Senator aiming to nix federal weather forecasts enjoyed AccuWeather money
Some worry that bill is bad idea in wake of hurricanes

By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

A conservative Republican senator who proposed that federal meteorologists be forbidden from competing with companies such as AccuWeather and the Weather Channel, has received nearly $4,000 from AccuWeather's founder and executive vice president since 2000, RAW STORY has discovered.

Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) introduced the bill last week. The senator's supporters (among them the founder and executive vice president of AccuWeather) note the bill provides an exemption that would allow organizations the National Hurricane Center from alerting the public to hazards.

"The National Weather Service has not focused on what its core mission should be, which is protecting other people's lives and property," said Barry Myers, the Executive Vice President of AccuWeather told the Palm Beach Post Thursday. "It spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year, every day, producing forecasts of 'warm and sunny.'"

Myers gave $1,000 to Santorum in the last election cycle. Santorum was the only senator Myers financially supported.
