Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Press secretary, too.

Also, weathermen aren't necessarily lying. lying requires an intent to deceive, and most times, weathermen don't mean to deceive, they're just factually wrong. (FWIW, predicting the weather more than a few days in advance is a crap shoot.)

Press secretare is just a modern herald or crier, they are the voice of the king.

As for the weatherman bit, your right, but thats also the joke...
