This is perhaps the most pro-administration piece we ever wrote. Dr Thames had decided to host us in the dome, extend an olive branch, and answer a few of our questions.

After your riveting expose on the true nature of the Hood/Keith "evolution", and the off angle coverage by the press, I can see why you may be drained and shallow. I'd be. That was a superb piece of work. Surely our IRs looking on will see that as a pattern.
