Tampa NBC: Where We Don’t Find The News, The News Finds Us

Local NBC reporter Adrienne Pedersen in Tampa did not exactly come across as Edward R. Marrow in this clip. She is reporting on gas prices as screeching tires are heard behind her in a wreck. She is then told by the anchor to turn around and does a surprisingly dismissive account of the accident.

The NBC News Channel 8 reporter take one quick glance and says everyone is fine. It is hard to see how you could say that, even if you want to get back to the gas price story. The anchor then makes a joke that they probably crashed due to be being distracted by the gas prices — all before we know if anyone is seriously harmed. Later, Pedersen says everyone is indeed fine . . . but one is going to the hospital.
