Not actually true... but close enough. A lot of natives have the "no accent" of the "Midwest News Anchor" from being raised around tons of transplants and tourists. Those that do have a 'southern' accent cultivated it specifically to come across as "rednecks". There are also a lot of native Hispanics with a mild to strong accent (whether Mexican or Cuban). And tons of immigrants all with their own accents.
I know plenty of people in Orlando* (and a few from Miami) who were born and raised in Florida.
* Where I live, but I'm from Chicago by way of Colorado.
