Groundhog Love...and Science
Manage episode 398872018 series 1555787
Punxsutawney Phil has been predicting the weather since the 1800s. That's a long track record and our team is looking back at his history to see just how accurate the weatherman groundhog really is...and how he compares with other animal prognosticators!
Next, it's been a terrible couple of weeks for journalism with multiple layoffs and closures across big and small outlets. Ad revenue is the main issue, but it doesn't help that Americans' opinions of the profession has fallen. We're looking at polling data that compares the attitudes about the media of all Americans with those of journalists themselves. Marist's Dr. Kevin Lerner joins to help us sort through it all.
We finish with this: Which animal is most intelligent? The results of this poll leave dog and cat lovers at odds...as usual!
