      Press secretary, too.

      Also, weathermen aren’t necessarily lying. lying requires an intent to deceive, and most times, weathermen don’t mean to deceive, they’re just factually wrong. (FWIW, predicting the weather more than a few days in advance is a crap shoot.)

        Press secretare is just a modern herald or crier, they are the voice of the king.

        As for the weatherman bit, your right, but thats also the joke…
