Fair & Balancing Act



The head of the National Media Authority counted to five hundred before the phone rang.

“Hello-“

“What the FUCK are you playing at? Right & Correct News is one of this government’s biggest supporters, and you’re taking them off the air?”

“They have been constantly and deliberately misreporting facts, not presenting fair reports, and have been in breach of almost every guideline we have.”

“I don’t give a fuck! You will retract-“

“Of course, if I had stronger powers, more possible punishments, this could be avoided.”

There was a moment of deep thought on the other end of the line.
