Only in Florida- II

So Christmas news stories: The lead story on every network was "Man walks 10 miles to bus station" Really? THat's the best you can do for a lead story. First of all 10 miles really isnt that much. Second there was no bus route close to his house that could've gotten him to the bus station. I'll be the first to admit that the public transportation system of central florida isn't that great, but its not that horrible either! And think of the poor person who had to sit next to him on the bus. They had footage of him walking and an interview at the bus station. So if they had all this footage of him walking, why didn't they just give him a ride; they were going to the same place anyway. And how did they know he was walking 10 miles. Did they stop and talk to every person walking and be like "excuse me, do you happen to be walking more than 8 miles in a holiday related trek?"

Follow-up story: Tornados damage over 200 houses on Christmas day. Yes, yes. I see how that shouldn't be the main story because its actually newsworthy.

Only in Florida.
