Imagine you're a member of the media, imagine you're an idiot. But then I repeat myself.
Apparently the sheriff was immediately informed and was on the scene within the hour. I wasn't aware one was obligated to call the press when an accident happens. Typically one calls the police. Gee, maybe we should call the press next time we have a fender bender in order to keep them happy.
This situation, like Katrina and everything else that happens, is exacerbated by the dead stream media. Very tiresome.
