His story contains a description of drunken tricks by schoolboyish Republicans and mini-bars. Stephens boss confronts him about the situation. Turns out that his story was true, except for ace small detail about how there were no mini-bars but bonny fridges open to rent with alcohol in it.

Fabricating anything can stop an individuals re effectation as a writer and can even take down an entire newspaper just exchangeable the New Republic Newspaper.Journalism is a load of work. Taking shortcuts in journalism will catch up to you and haunt you throughout the rest of your career. create verbally for a newspaper takes many countless hours of hard work without doubt. Therefore, fabricating anything in journalism can lead up to you being sued. Overall, this movie showed me a lesson personally and Im living up to the consequences right now. If you put the time and effort into getting important information, the results will show the rewards.
