Journalistic Integrity (Friday, April 14 - 3rd period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Rita had her shiny computer - which, no, she didn't know how to use, still - out on her desk, and over the course of the period, she played the last week's radio podcasts in the background.

"How do you view the radio as a news source?" she asked. "Do you think it's acurate? Is it fair, or balanced? Do those who report do the best with their available resources, or is it mostly speculation? And if so, is it fair to the people of this school? Discuss."

"Oh," she added in an edit as an afterthought, "your project due date is now the fifth of May. And I expect your proposal for your interview subjects - who you're planning to interview, that is - and any information on where you're going on my desk by Wednesday, in writing."

"I'm always perfectly sober when I broadcast," Rita said, lying like a lying thing that lies a lot.

"I have no problems with people drinking. My favorite teacher back home is also the court drunk. I'm just commentating on how the people usually sound."

Rita nodded. "I think we all know that's true to a degree. Does that affect the broadcast, you think?"

"Sometimes, yes. The broadcaster is more willing to add details that are not in their notes and go off on tangents."

Krycek snorted softly, but offered no particular comment on Rita's big fat lie.
