You can't trust anyone lately

Lede from a story on CNN.com today, "Shuttle returns to space":

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) -- Discovery roared into the skies over Florida Tuesday morning as NASA returned to shuttle space flight for the first time since the 2003 Columbia disaster.

Under a blue, nearly cloudless sky, the spacecraft lifted off at 10:39 a.m. ET, as scheduled.

CNN seems to be following the same standard as NY1's meteorologists: "blue, nearly cloudless sky" means, roughly, overcast with a 30% chance of rain.
