Media Reporting Failures, Hurricane Patricia Retrospective
CBS News reporter Adrian Bard is noted for reporting on Hurricane Patricia from Mexico City, far from the actual storm center, while using a phone-in format.

The segment concludes with observations on how the storm was used to bolster the upcoming Paris climate talks despite the actual wind speeds being measured as low as 35 miles per hour.
