The Correction Gets a Bigger Audience Than the Story
Share
A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.
Yesterday, Roo reported that the blue mug was missing. Today, Kit found it behind the red mug.
Roo prepared a small correction.
The blue mug requested the same attention as the original story.
'You gave my disappearance music.'
So the newsroom played the music again. Roo explained exactly where the mug had been and apologized for not looking properly.
Kit demonstrated the simple act of checking behind another object.
Viewers loved the demonstration. Several discovered their own missing things.
The correction drew more attention than the original report.
Roo proposed a regular program called Let's Look Again.
The blue mug agreed to host, provided it could remain beside the red mug.
'That's where I like standing,' it explained. 'Being visible is lovely. Being constantly relocated for television is exhausting.'
