13:24Now PlayingRush Limbaugh claims to be a hurricane expert of some sort. Apparently they're a liberal conspiracy. Are chemtrails involved? Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Michael Shure, and Alonzo Bodden, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Florida is hunkering down as a Category 3 hurricane charges up the Atlantic Coast. As of Friday morning, the storm’s eye wall — boasting winds over 100 mph — ranged just over a dozen miles from land. The storm battered Haiti, where death toll estimates have been as high as 300, and could deliver strong winds and massive storm surges to much of the Florida’s east coast.
Florida’s Republican governor didn’t mince words on Thursday when he told reporters, “This is going to kill people.”
And yet, Matt Drudge thinks this is all a big conspiracy.
Drudge, the manna that feeds the conservative news cycle, argued in a Thursday tweet that Matthew wasn’t really a strong storm but rather part of a liberal conspiracy to raise awareness of global warming.
Drudge later went on to tweet that the storm was “fizzling,” when as Vox noted, he linked to a story that merely said “strong winds are expected to start in Florida within hours.” Drudge then doubled down, saying the problem was that the government — the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — had a a “monopoly” on forecasting the storm.”*
