The traditional TV channels can NOT concentrate on Florida and they can't put Florida down more than some other states - simply because their sponsors would not allow it - Florida has too large of a population. The late-night comedians DO have a tendency to lampoon "Florida Man", but it is basically good-natured humor. ALL TV channels call out situations in ALL states that they believe are worth bringing to the attention of their audiences. Controversy increases ratings for ALL TV channels.

Currently, Florida has 20% of the US cases, and at least one hospital is having as many CV patients as during the 1st big surge. That IS all scary stuff and IS a warning to the rest of America. So, the TV news MUST cover it.
