You hit on one good point there. For a lot of the media, they can only relate to stories like this from a New York City perspective. That means every winter storm that sweeps up the East Coast has to become a New York City event, and every hurricane that strikes Florida or Louisiana has to become the subject of Monday-morning quarterbacking by some @sshole — who doesn’t know anything about meteorology — sitting at a news desk in Manhattan.
NYC based national news networks confuse local news with national news. We’ve been treated to NYC bad traffic news, NYC food news, NYC concert news.
Like those of us in flyover America are gonna jump in the car and rush on over.
