The next day, the woman reappeared, this time, with Sophik’s reporter. She spoke as if to clarify something, “What I said yesterday was a lie. They squared me to tell that.” The scripted clarification was duly rewarded.
“Here is the true story of how Sophik claiming to be number one news channel shamelessly sacrifices truth to woo sensationalism. Listen to this poor woman whose daughter is shown picking up comestibles from the filthy road in order to mitigate their hunger in the video telecast by the channel yesterday.” Saying this with great vivacity, the reporter of Ethik turned to a lean woman and asked, “Would you tell us what actually happened?” The woman said, “Last evening a man came here and emptied a bag of eatables on the road and asked my daughter to sit down and collect it for our use. Another man standing nearby focused his camera on my daughter. Anyway, we were happy to have the food and some bucks for the little show.” The reporter thanked and paid her for being loyal to the script.

Heart wrenching. Not only for the bogus event, but that the poor woman was forced to lie. Comments are closed.
