Yes, I am. I have no doubt that whoever, along with David Muir, decides what stories are reported is not an ABC or Disney executive and is probably in a managerial role with just ABC Evening News.
As an every evening watcher we have noticed the obvious shift. Our sample is well over the 200 unit statistical sampling minimum used by most statisticians for reasonable accuracy and our exposure reference is about a year. The change in emphasis has been over the last five or six months. There is no question in my mind that coverage of weather related events has increased. The reasons and motivation to do so is undetermined and open to discussion.
There has not been any attempt here to include other news organizations that I do not watch often enough to have observed the noticeable change that I have alluded to with ABC Evening News.
I did time it tonight and it was only one story (the tornadoes in Texas) which was covered in less than two minutes. There is almost an every night discussion by and with the ABC chief meteorologist who maps out weather all across the country and spelling out lots of dire warnings. That did not appear tonight. I will continue for a few days to keep a count. It was a busy news day with the bulk of the coverage going to the Notre Dame fire ... or perhaps David Muir read this thread and didn't like the glare of the Signs 101 spotlight.
The Texas tornado story was just "covered", not necessarily editorialized or linked even slightly to climate change?
To expand on the premise of our perceived sense of bias and the purposeful steering of content and storylines in order to manufacture consent, how should we judge the mass media's treatment of the Barr summary of a 400 page report that nobody has even read yet?
We've had two full weeks of mass media manipulation of a hastily prepared summary of a lengthy report done by a hand picked official with a publicly stated preference for allowing the executive branch to do as it likes regardless of whether or not it is legal.
We also have to remember that those same Native Americans who were effectively decimated by an organized campaign of genocide, welcomed and aided the "immigrants" who landed on their shores.
While you're playing snark master, how about we take a look at what Guam would look like without the U.S. military's presence and direct transfer payments ( a fancy phrase for welfare ) it receives?

As is with most South Pacific Islands it would be self sustaining and rich in culture.
Of course it would.
In this case though, one can't ignore the flippant, insensitive comment that one of its residents made about the plight of native americans in the context of the xenophobic nativism caricatured by the legendary editorial cartoonist I shared.

Ahhh..... mr toad, you have NOTHING at all to base those words upon.
But while we're at it...... where is your village ?? I'd like to see where you live and rule your cult followers. Is there anything, you aren't an authority about ?? I mean, you have an answer for everything and anybody. I'm willing to bet I understand better, why you've gone through so many jobs, businesses and employees, just based on this thread alone. Again, remember, I only report on what's been said. I don't make this sh!t up..... ya just can't make this stuff up. It' don't get any better than this one. 
You're simply awesome, just ask you.

And you waiting around to find some juicy story of how bad the President is in that 400 page report, well that's like me waiting to see the sex tapes of Wolf Blitzer and Gloria Borger. Nothing there worth seeing Toad.
But thanks for sharing the legendary cartoon with us.
It's obvious that the ownership doesn't care about upholding its own guidelines fro conduct here, but as a friendly reminder of what they are, let's try and remember that this thread is NOT in the ONLY unmoderated thread category where these kinds of personal attacks, insults, unprofessional and rude behavior are allowed. I would point out #5 specifically.

Hey ladies, can we get back to talking about the original topic of how politics has become so invasive rather than talking about politics itself. Just sayin
Ok, I'll bite. It's impossible to disconnect how deeply political matters have become intertwined with daily life in a sharply divided country built on creating and coveting winners and losers.

I like making signs
A lot of customers bring up politics. I don't dare make comments either way - a couple of them have tried REALLY hard! If I know they are on the same political side as me, I might lightly agree but I don't want anyone leaving the shop and telling others they had this in-depth conversation with me. I've deleted friends on FB and been told I don't deserve my kids, called the C word and told I'm a horrible person. I could NOT believe what I was reading. COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!!! All I did was post "Go ____" right before the election - or something like that. Others who continually post how horrible those who voted for _____ get deleted also. I was actually a little frightened when I got called the C word. That was a wake up call for me. I hung out in a garage election night - we all voted the same so there would be no fighting no matter who won or lost LOL I went to work feeling like crap the next day, way too much to drink. Was it from celebrating or crying? You will never know...LOL

You know what toad......... I haven't embarrassed you, insulted you or anything close to what you are doing to this thread and just about every other thread you've been involved with in recent months or almost years. You've been going on and on with your little zingers, sideways glances and just about every other back-pedaling scheme you can muster up and wanna call out a member after one infraction, which doesn't come close to what you've been doing and call yourself clean of guilt. If you wanna dish it out, then be prepared to take it, too, unless mama, raised a little sissy. No slight on your mom, but you just don't know how to play in any games. You've basically alienated yourself from even people on your own side of the fence. You condemn ex-owners, admins, the present day owners and wanna tell everyone how and why things should be run YOUR way. Here's a novel idea, why don't you start your own forum ?? I have more people PMing and e-mailing me about your behavior than any other time of my 16 years of being here..... and I was a regional manager here at s101 at one time and received lotsa complaints and suggestions back then, but nothing like your and your makeup.
Do yourself a favor and just read all the horrible and relentless words you've used in this thread alone and you'll see what I'm talking about. I thought toads had thick skins.
By the way, read number 5 in your post .[HASHTAG]#109[/HASHTAG].

Sorry, I didn't realize you were looking over Mueller's shoulder the last two years as he and his staff were conducting their investigations. NOBODY but he and his staff and Bill Barr and his staff have seen the report.
The media and president have played you in order to convince you that there is nothing there to see, just as they have for the last three plus years.

Ah, but that is what socialists like to do. Control everything and everybody because in their little mind they think they are right. That is why I hate socialists!

None of this matters. So much time is wasted by people just totally consumed by this. Having your opinion, forwarding nonsense political crap to everyone through email, writing comments on news, sharing political garbage and slanted articles on facebook and then alienating everyone around you trying to convince them how right you are..... it's all for nothing - wow mind blowing. You are not going to be the president, you are not going to be a representative, youre not changing the world, youre doing absolutely none of that. Your opinion matters very little for a tiny period of time every 4 years when you fill in that little bubble (remember #2 pencils kids) and to an even lesser extent every 2 years. Everything that happens in between is out of your control so why keep b*tching about it? Cast your vote, let them do their job, then in a couple years decide what bubble to fill in depending on how you perceived their work.
You ever go out to dinner with someone to a restaurant that youve been to and they haven't? You get a little pushy about what they should order because you know its good? You think that's what they're going to get and have a little sense of happiness until the waiter comes over and they order something totally different. Well, that's no different than politics.

Replace where you wrote "socialists" with literally any political party in existence. Everyone wants to control others while doing whatever they want. Its the most base of human nature.
