This.

I was listening to No Agenda yesterday, a podcast that "deconstructs the news", and they played back some sound bites where one reporter was still calling this a "bomb cyclone" right after interviewing a meteorologist who defined what was needed to declare it as such (blah-blah-atmospheric pressure, blah-blah-needs-X-millibars, and this doesn't qualify at all). IOW, he was contradicting himself and kept using the name, just because it just sounds oh-so much more horrible and attention-grabbing...

Here, found the clip...this is the part where one says this does NOT qualify...greater discussion was part of the podcast itself (#1515, recorded on the 25th).
