Jeb Bush On T.V.'s 'Bad Example'

It seems that we weren't the only ones with a few criticisms of television news coverage of Hurricane Wilma. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush mentioned this morning during a news conference that he was none too pleased with the "bad example" television reporters set for residents. The Palm Beach Post writes:

Bush said he was "annoyed" by television reporters broadcasting during the storm, accusing them of setting a "bad example" for others. … "My wife and I woke up at five this morning just like everybody else does to watch the storm. And we see these characters on television reporting the news and putting themselves in harm's way. That doesn't do much good either, creates a bad example for others. It isn't fun. It's very dangerous," he said.
