busted forecasts this winter.

So much for the Storm of the (Very Young) Century.

So long, one thought, to the Story of the (Very Young) Month.

relentlessly covered this weekend. What had been dubbed "a monster
storm" Friday on WBAL became "The Snow Storm that Wasn't" yesterday on
WJZ.

believe TV news if they predict a big storm again? Is there pressure to
hype it from upper management? Is their integrity being compromised by
upper management in order to boost ratings?"
