According to Bloomberg, Tim Geithner plans to testify in front of Congress next week, hoping to persuade lawmakers that the Bush tax cuts for the rich must expire. Why? Well, ostensibly it’s about closing America’s monster deficit, but that can’t really be it, as this won’t move the needle much. Only a combination of steep [...]

A Bloomberg headline today read “Americans Tap $8.3 Billion in Home Equity, Least in a Decade”. This is indeed a very news-worthy figure. Sadly, you won’t learn anything about this issue from reading Bloomberg’s ridiculous “spin” of this news. At the peak of the U.S. housing-bubble, Americans were initiating more than $800 billion/year of such [...]

While the U.S. propaganda-machine (otherwise known as the “mainstream media”) is perpetually distorting facts with its blatant propaganda, it has arguably hit a new low with its reporting of June “new home sales”. A Bloomberg’ headline read “June Sales of New U.S. Homes Climb More Than Forecast”, while Reuters simply gushed “Home Sales Surge”. Meanwhile, [...]

TV channels exist to make money for their owners. The way they may money is that they sell advertising. The price of advertising depends on the number of viewers who actually see the advertisement. Channels user rating services to measure their viewership in order to support the prices they charge their advertisers.
The problem that the Weather Channel has is that they provide information that can be neatly packaged in segments of a few minutes length. They simply repeat those segments continuously (weather on the 8's). That's good for viewers who want to get a weather forecast. But it's not good for the Weather Channel because it means that they can't retain viewers – viewers turn on the Weather Channel to watch a segment in order to see what the weather is going to be, and then they switch back to programming on some other channel.
The Weather Channel wants to increase their advertising rates in order to increase their revenue. And to do that, they need to migrate to programming that will hold viewers on the Weather Channel. Hence, you are seeing things like Weather Channel movies (featuring movies with notable weather-related themes) for example.
