I just love our local news!

I was watching the presser of Governor DeSantis as he rambled on and on about how there was nothing to fear and how wrong the journalists were in predicting how the coronavirus would hit FL - and our local news station (WPLG Local 10) just shut him down. They interrupted him and resumed local news coverage. Love it.
