? Would any normal responsible journalist behave the way Couric and Milbank have?

Advertisements [?]

You just got out of the Columbia School of Journalism and you are facing their final exam:

Question 1.

Given the opportunity to switch one answer for another in a videotaped interview in order to make a Conservative candidate seem more . . . sane,
would you do it?

a. yes
b. no
c. what's in it for me?

Question 2.

You have a quote of 2 sentences. Omitting the first makes the second seem to be saying something completely contradictory to the Liberal speaker's intent.You:

a. omit it of course- what are you, a liberal jackass?
b. omit it (regrettably - sigh, you hoped to do better, but, integrity is for paupers)
