I've been watching some of the coverage of Frances on the Weather
Channel and I have to ask are these guys for real?

First they tell me that the Bahamas have lost power and now their on
the scene reporter is having to call in via satellite phone. Next
they cut to FULL VIDEO and SOUND of HER holding a sat-phone up to her
head while talking into her standard microphone. Geesch! What is
wrong with this picture?

It's fairly obvious that they have a full satellite link that either
has power or a generator. Why the fraud?

Stunts like this really make me wonder about the credibility of the
Weather Channel
