Officials at NOAA were warned not to contradict the president's Tweets, meaning that even if he had it wrong, they should not correct him.
Their job is to give us the most accurate forecast they can and to dispel any inaccurate forecasts being put out there, not to placate the **** manchild in the WH.
But they have been told that if the president Tweets out any inaccurate information to his 64 million followers, they should not correct him.
I'm sure you will say that you don't have an issue with that, and if you do say that, I call **** in advance.
There is no way you can justify that ****, but I'm sure you'll try.
I never saw inaccurate info as proved by my posts.

Are you purposely being obtuse?
NOAA is being threatened not to contradict the president.

A NOAA meteorologist who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution said the note, understood internally to be referring to Trump, came after the National Weather Service office in Birmingham contradicted Trump by tweeting Alabama would "NOT see any impacts from the hurricane."

For fear of retribution?

The agency sent a similar message warning scientists and meteorologists not to speak out on Sept. 4, after Trump showed a hurricane map from Aug. 29 modified with a hand-drawn, half-circle in black Sharpie around Alabama.

So they were also told to keep quiet about the altered map.

If in the future the president gets something wrong, it is their duty to correct him.
But they are being told not to.

I know.
You don't care.
