Local news broadcast

[pclu2004]

Saturday night one of our local Orlando news outlets showed a story about an elephant standing in the surf off a beach near Clearwater Florida. They simply said the elephant had been noticed by some residents-- YA THINK!! Nothing about where the elephant came from or what happened to it. Do these so-called news people even go to journalism

The elephant was hired for a birthday party, according to what I found online. Still, it's a strange place to see this kind of animal!

Well, I'm glad someone knows where it came from. With all the wildlife we have around here I didn't want to have to start looking out for elephants too.

I've heard of 'ignoring the elephant in the room', but never not noticing it. LOL! That takes a special kind of oblivion. Hugs, Grammy

It wasn't so much being ignored--it was stupid "news reporters" who only said an elephant was in the surf and showed a picture--nothing more.

Do these so-called news people even go to journalism school?

... I'd say the ones reporting this item might have skipped quite a few classes if they did!

It used to be you got "how, when, where, why and what". Now all you get is"what", anything else is too much work and might mess their perfect hairdos. Walter Cronkite--how I miss you.

Was the mystery ever solved and...reported? :)
