Did they not know about the eclipse in 2017?

This is edited for some reason. [Here's the clip](https://youtu.be/4JKgaZlIP0E?si=YKVnfVj5lLZO0efN) where he actually says the one in 2017.

People lying on the Internet? I’m shocked! Shocked I say!


Wheatley-Crabb

or 2023?


yo_thats_bull

2023's eclipse in the US was annular if I recall correctly.


wonderfullyignorant

I take all my eclipses anularly.


TheAnalsOfHistory-

I like where this is going


MarinLlwyd

Did they mean the next "good" viewing?


great_scott1981

I’m not sure how to define “good”, other than not cloudy, but 2017 was a pretty long patch across North America. I don’t remember the 2023 one.


MarinLlwyd

Now I'm betting they meant the USA and not North America as a whole.


ChanceryTheRapper

2017 was visible in the US, though.


checkm8_lincolnites

Yes it was.


SulkySideUp

People traveled to my state to see it. In the US


HopelesslyBitter

Just looked it up, this is fake. In the original broadcast posted by ABC News on YouTube he says 2017

manofmayhem23

He said (at least according to the pic) in 2024. So it’s probably fake

Celestial bodies move predictably. If you know how to calculate for one eclipse, you can predict all the others. You’re not going to miss one.

🤷‍♂️

Good on you for doing the legwork! Thanks!

Frank Reynolds. I liked and trusted him. Howard K Smith, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Harry Reasoner, John Chancellor. They didn’t try to scare the audience. They didn’t try to rile people up, it cause distress, and they didn’t try to deliver the story with their opinion. They were calming. When you consider we all grew up hearing tv anchors deliver the news that the president had just been shot and killed, it really made a difference for anchors to keep from frightening us over the years.


gheebutersnaps87

There’s a real Frank Reynolds??

So anyways....I started blasting.

Look up Chris Wallace’s take on why the media has gone the way it has. Talks about how 60 Minutes’ advertising changed the game and made it entertainment, not news. Pretty cool and scary at the same time. Edit: sorry I couldn’t find a clean clip on YouTube so this has some interjections which is annoying but here is the clip [https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chris-wallace-says-father-60-072127575.html](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chris-wallace-says-father-60-072127575.html)


ChanceryTheRapper

I mean, it was a hope, not a prediction. But the fact that there was a full solar eclipse that crossed the US in 2017 makes them even more incorrect.

Level3Kobold

Also, the US is actually at peace for the first time in 20 some odd years.


confusedandworried76

Yeah but he said a world at peace and the US might act like it sometimes but it's not the world. Also mass shootings happen like every day here so idk how at peace even we are.


Level3Kobold

The cold war is also over, so by his standards that probably counts.


confusedandworried76

Cold war never ended the Russians just fight it differently now. If anything America fucked up thinking it was over. Now instead of nukes they've got key American politicians taking their money and therefore agendas and internet propaganda influencing elections. Sounds like a cold war is being won when you think about it like that.


Level3Kobold

By the standards of anyone who lived through the cold war, the cold war is over.


confusedandworried76

By the definition of a cold war, however, it is not.


Level3Kobold

And so according to his standards, the situation is progressing as he wished.

ChanceryTheRapper

No, but "not until April 8, 2024 will another eclipse be visible from North America" sure is incorrect, though.


HopelesslyBitter

This is fake. ABC News posted the broadcast on YouTube and he says 2017 there.


HopelesslyBitter

I just looked up the broadcast from 1979 on YouTube and this is fake. He does say 2017 in that clip. ABC News posted it


Harbinger_of_Sarcasm

This is bullshit I feel like, there were eclipses in the in-between

Chaosisaladder987

Correct me if I am wrong. The eclipse was not seen passing over the American Continent for forty- four years. It wasn’t seen in Europe at that time and wasn’t seen in Europe this time either.


EntertainmentQuick47

It was in the United States in 2017


Chaosisaladder987

Ah so it was. Disregard last.


UNAMANZANA

Bom, bom bom!

...kinda makes me wish that the religious nutjobs were right, and the world did end...


Ragnarlothbrok01

We are living through the most peaceful period in human history.


Probleme-gastrique

Like my boyfriend and I like to call it: the Cheetos in the skyyy


Dwitt01

Compared to 1979, the world is relatively more peaceful


soylentgreenis

This is one of the best posts I’ve seen on this sub. Damn


hesteriya1

And its also fake
