Oh Cashmere. It's nice that they let middle-schoolers write their articles.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That writer is the editor-in-chief. He's got to be in his 70's by now. DH used to work at a gas & sip across the street from the newspaper's office. Around 4 a.m., the editor would wander across the street to get an ice cream bar. He's sit down at one of the booths and fall asleep with the ice cream melting down his hand.
He's also fond of the semi-colon in his four column headlines. They read like 19th century headlines.
This particular article starts off as just kind of small town. Then it crescendos into phenomenally bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's so neat that Cashmere's reality is much more interesting than anything we could come up with.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Forgot to record NCIS, dammit. I wanted to see who got killed off.

Anne, I could tell you, if you want. I'm sorry, but I didn't tape.
I will tell you (not who) that it pissed me right off. I could be permanently soured.
Edited in case it was spoiling! Didn't think.

Oh, I don't mind being spoiled. Is the possible permanent souring related to the who was killed or how it was portrayed?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That self-referential quiz is kicking my butt. I keep getting down to 2 wrong, but never the same 2.

Who was killed off. A character I felt was a balancing factor. Still wanna know?
If so, they killed Kate. Or rather, Ari the sexy terrorist did.
I'm sorta over the whole "in the season finale! Who will die!" thing. It's become such a gimmick, without the kind of emotional payoff that it could be. It seems like just a hook, not a devastating blow. Oh sure, still repercussions, but it seems to be less for character development and more for ratings. Of course, the shows I see it in aren't necessarily as invested in the character thing. Anyway. I'm annoyed.
