The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has warned the National Weather Service of possible attacks from an armed conspiracy group targeting Doppler radar stations, according to a report from CNN. The group, Veterans on Patrol, is going after government radars because it believes they’re being used as “weather weapons.”
CNN learned of the possible attacks through NOAA emails warning NWS staff that Veterans on Patrol was planning to conduct “penetration drills on NEXRAD sites to identify weaknesses,” with the ultimate goal of destroying NEXRAD. Despite its cooler-than-average name, the NWS uses NEXRAD or “Next Generation Weather Radar” for a fairly mundane purpose: detecting precipitation in the atmosphere. NEXRAD plays a vital role in locating thunderstorms and tornados, making it easier to evacuate vulnerable communities before disaster strikes.

This is what happens when you don’t fund science education.
This is what happens when you remove the fairness doctrine and allow the alt-right propaganda “news” machine go unchecked.
Wasn’t the fairness doctrine right wing propoganda already? iirc the point was to give 1 anti-vaxer the same voice as every single pro-vaxination researcher on earth combined.
There is a saying that reality and facts have a liberal bias. When Nixon was in the process of being impeached, conservatives found that if they can control the narrative, the facts, then they can control the conversation. It’s no accident that they went to attack the fairness doctrine and it finally fell under Reagan.
It may have had a right wing bias, but they are the ones that got rid of it because they wanted to protect their echo chamber
no, this is what no child left behind does for 20 unchallenged years.
