I think it was a minor Miami paper. All the others just picked it up off of the wires. Gleefully, yes. Also, the Miami paper was the only one to print the correction, when the true stats from the Florida Department of Heath were checked. I guess in the world of journalism, if a paper is not the originator, they don't have to print retractions or corrections. Also, if the Daily Mail claimed to be the first they undoubtedly meant in the U.K.
