Weather Channel says it’s sorry for sarcastic tweet
After a Fort Worth city councilman complained about the cable channel’s app using pictures of Dallas for reports for his home city, its Twitter account replied in a snippy fashion.
Hey snoozing @weatherchannel social media team, see anything missing now? CC @YahooWeather @wfaaweathertoo pic.twitter.com/KxsgAwLLnR

The Weather Channel replied to his tweet with what reads like a sarcastic snipe at the councilman. Burns is openly gay and made headlines with an impassioned “It Gets Better” speech at a 2010 council meeting.
@JoelBurns Sorry to see you go. Good luck on ending bullying.
