They've since apologized and stated it did not originate with them. Do they mean racism? That racism didn't originate with them? We know. Anyhoo, here's the statement:
“A graphic during the Weather Channel cable network’s ‘Local on the 8s’ presentation in Des Moines last evening included a racial slur,” the post read. “We removed this graphic as soon as we learned of it. This did not originate with us, and we are in the process of investigating it further. We apologize to our viewers.”
