    Actual conversation tonight.

    SE: "Can we put that the NBA Finals weren't over at press time because we won't pay our carriers?"

    Me: "Well we're supposed to report the truth."

    Guy on news side: "We're supposed to be accurate. That's not the same as reporting the truth."

    I think that explains our industry in one quote.

    Nothing original there. It's a quote from the last scene of "Absence of Malice," starring Paul Newman and Sally Field.
