Chuck, please?
You weren`t there with the Jukt executives?
No, Sims is a real guy. l`ve talked to him a million times.
How about you?
l`m suggesting that there might be facets that you`re not considering.
Are you sure you`re in the right building?
This is the system Michael Kelly brought from The New Yorker...
Okay, l feel really attacked.
Don`t let me interrupt.
But this concerns the very field we cover.
Don`t you know that?
lf you wanna make this about Mike, l don`t give a shit.
And everything we told the Forbes guys--
Hiert`s online all day long.
You know, because of the article. He was so mad about it.
What are you gonna do, Chuck?
Obviously, he needs some help.
-ls it near here? -Yeah, it`s across the street.
Jesus Christ! Do you have any idea how much shit we`re about to eat?
What did they say?
Hi.
Let`s do it in private.
lt`s my loyalty to you that he`s punishing me for.
-What for? -l wanna meet Joe Hiert.
lt has been a fixture of American political commentary ever since.

...associate editor of The New Republic Magazine...
After Mike Tyson was disqualified...
l mean, you know, George is such a dignified publication.
-Hello? -Hello, this is George Sims.
l`m so sorry, Chuck.
How you doing?
Okay, thank you very much.
There`s no listing for a company called Jukt Micronics.
Chuck isn`t firing Steve...

And the last of them was the biggest story l ever wrote.
Yeah.
-Can l take my law books? -Sure.

Tried the state comptroller`s office. No license was applied for...
...until it appeared on the cover of The New Republic.
Bottom line is l`d like you guys to basically get lost, okay?
...back to the fact-checker, back to the writer and back to production again.
This guy is toast.
lf l hadn`t been at the dentist, it`d be me about to get famous.
lf we can find Hiert, l can back them off for a day or two.
No. l didn`t mean to imply that l had been.
His reporting was sloppy, we know.
He won`t even pay to have real cards made.
