Another WHY? News sketch and this time we visit the newsroom of a tabloid newspaper.
Int. An office for a tabloid newspaper. Three journalists are lazing around, bored out of their minds, checking their phones and emails waiting for some news to happen.
Journalist 1: Right, this approach isn’t working, let’s force the issue.
Journalist 2: You mean lie?
Journalist 1: No, I mean let’s force the issue and fabricate a story. Right, I’ll start…..Tom Cruise…
Journalist 1 looks at Journalist 2 with hope, making encouraging hand gestures. Journalist 2 hesitates but slowly realises what is expected of him.
Journalist 2: …caught by wife…?
Journalist 1 and 2 look at Journalist 3 full of hope. He thinks for a moment.
Journalist 3: …buying porn off Amazon?
Journalist 1 and 2 slam their hands down on the desk in triumph and cheer in delight.
Journalist 1: Yes, let’s run that one, that’ll do.
Journalist 2: it’s quite a good one actually.
Journalist 3: For once.
