Sorry in advance to Garrett if this doesn't format correctly,I havent seen how to fix it from the web.
When I first became a reporter and covered scheduled events like
city council meetings, I would be shocked at the spin the paper 
would put on the meeting and began to wonder if the reporter was
even paying attention to what was being said or going on.  OTOH
the reporter was good at digging out stories that some pols would
not necessarily like to have seen public
