The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows had the audacity to dedicate segments to the weather without mentioning that the hurricane “stormpocalypse” the media prophesied would happen this year never materialized.
ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News spent 609 seconds collectively sounding the alarm on a bevy of thunderstorms ripping through the U.S. just in time for the Thanksgiving Day festivities and complicating air travel. That's standard fare for the season.
But the timing of this reporting was nothing short of incredible. Axios came out with a climate change narrative-wrecking report Sunday admitting that the 2025 hurricane season the media scare-mongered would spell disaster for U.S. states was ending without a single U.S. landfall for the first time in 10 years. None of the evening networks covered the Axios report during their November 24 broadcasts, perhaps because doing so would make them all look like the rabble of babbling climate nutjobs they are.
CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson — though he probably will never admit it — has the biggest amount of egg on his face. In May, John Dickerson was making a fuss over how "forecasters are saying [the 2025 hurricane season] could be one of the busiest in years." Watching him talk about thunderstorms now without doing a retraction on his prior propaganda sensationalizing the supposed hurricane threat is must-see TV. Watch Dickerson's initial doom reporting from May below:
The latest tally by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was 13 tropical storms and five hurricanes with no U.S. landfall, which is not really impressive at all. In fact, in May 2016, NASA reported that there was a 10-year hurricane drought up to that point. Specifically, “It has been a decade since the last major hurricane, Category 3 or higher, has made landfall in the United States. This is the longest period of time for the United States to avoid a major hurricane since reliable records began in 1850,” NASA wrote.
What does this all mean? The most obvious answer is that these media climate doomsayers know as much about predicting the trajectory of hurricane season as they do about guessing the winning lotto numbers: Nada.
But don’t expect the Big Three to admit to their viewers that they’re really just a bunch of know-nothings more consumed with pushing climate scareporn than reporting real news.
