Accuweather is STRETCHING the truth
It's the same bill. Section 2(b) says "The Secretary of Commerce
shall not provide, or assist other entities in providing, a product
or service (other than a product or service described in subsection
(a)(1)) that is or could be provided by the private sector".
"Stretching the truth" is far too kind.
And while 2(c)(1) says that the data must be released in real time,
2(c)(2) says:
"MODE OF ISSUANCE- Data, information, guidance, forecasts, and
warnings shall be issued under paragraph (1) through a set of
data portals designed for volume access by commercial providers
or products or services and by such other mechanisms as the
Secretary of Commerce considers appropriate for purposes of that
paragraph."
Anyone with some media clout care to call them out on this?
