Cleveland TV station has bad closed-captioning on the weather

If there’s one thing I learned at a young age, it’s that people with disabilities are just as capable of success as you or I am (unless there aren’t ramps by the entrance to a building). But many people with disabilities persevere and achieve great things. Unfortunately, we don’t make it easy on them, as seen in this clip of closed captioning for the weather on a Cleveland news station.
In the closed captioner’s defense, it is pretty dangerous out there on the roads when your cats get weeded down again, especially when they said they don’t get what it down. You probably need special tires for weather like that, so that seems like helpful information.
I’m sure closed captioning is a really difficult job, but can’t we get a robot to do it at this point? There’s no excuse for your newscast to appear to a deaf person as though your weatherman went on a tirade about someone “who will bring brain or the appreciate their damn sure down in San Antonio.” You’d be better off getting closed captioning from a team of lemurs with a See ‘N’ Say. At least then you’d learn something about cows’ love of the word “moo.”
