Media Mayhem

'Sup, readers.

I just got back from the local Shire Council office, I was having an interview with the boss of the Yackandandah brach. Nice guy, looks like Santa Claus. I guess I'm if going to tell this story, I'd better tell it from the start.

A couple of weeks back, my English teacher set the class an assignment. We had to give a five-minute speech on an issue that's been in the media since October of last year. After weeks of searching, I eventually came up with a topic: "That the media is willing to not only omit facts, but actually change them, in order to sway the reader's opinion". Basically, it's my stuck-up way of saying that the media lies. I stumbled across an article about a local woman who was being forced by the local council to plant 800 trees, because she cut down four dead trees that were on her property. Thing is, using my network of spies, asassins, and gossiping old ladies, I was able to discover that most of the story was bullshit made up by the newspaper. So, I went to the source to find out the real facts, which brings us back to where I began. I'm presenting the speech on Friday, so I guess I'd better go figure out what I'm actually going to say.
