Sometimes there is hope and a measure of sanity.
You are a conceited Media Talking Head/Reporter Cum Laude. You go on TV with a false report based on fake documents in an effort to derail a presidential campaign and a President. Your “hard hitting” piece is taken apart by bloggers who show the world the amount of stupidity required to miss the documents are fakes. Even though the evidence of the provenance indicates a political operative working for the opposition, you dismiss it all and stand for your piece. The scandal after that grows so huge that the Media Outlet has to take the report back and asks you to withdraw your initial statements, you refuse and you get your ass canned for lying to the American Public and putting the Network in danger of showing them for the fools they really are. What do you do? SUE THE NETWORK.
