4th Floor Common Room, Saturday Noon

Now that Merlin was a reporter for the school paper, it would seem that research needed to be done on just what sort of interviews he ought to do.

He was, of course, researching this by watching television. Fox News to be specific.

And right now he was almost certain that he couldn't find some sort of secret drug trade on the island in order to make his article more interesting.

Well... maybe if he interviewed Chuck.

"You ought to use marshmallows somehow," Merlin suggested with the wisdom of the ages.

"And maybe bananas." Priestly grinned. "Man, you're just full of ideas."

"I've watched a lot of that channel." God help him and his crush on Paula Deen.

"That's 'cause food is awesome. Why're you watching Fox News, now?"

I was trying to see how newspeople are supposed to interview for their stories."

A beat.

"I don't think I can yell that much."

"Why would you want to?" Priestly shook his head. "If you want good reporting, you're totally on the wrong station. And possibly in the wrong decade."

"...what should I watch then?"

Because television had the answers to everything.

Priestly considered this for a long moment. "I kind of like the one on Comedy Central. I mean, the guy's totally slanted and makes fun of the news, but he's not pretending not to be, like these dudes are, and when he yells it's usually just to be heard over the audience or a plaintive cry for a return to intelligent thought and honesty."

"...Comedy Central." Merlin sounded as though he was memorizing that. "Are most like these people?"

"Well . . . yeah, a bit. Though, actually, CNN and MSNBC are said to be way more liberal. And . . . kinda more boring. Jon Stewart's liberal, but he's funny -- on purpose -- so he's got that going for him."

"And they interview people a bit?" And without yelling obscenities hopefully. Oh, America.

"Yeah, sometimes. Stewart does one interview per show."

"Then I will watch that and--come up with something to talk to people about."

Maybe the dangers of glitter.

"That's the way to do it, yeah."
