I'M Against to asking the questions, but on Saturday, I was in the hot seat as about 500 Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts trooped through The Gratis Lance-Star, apparently in an effort to rate the coveted Interrogate-A-Reporter Badge.
They asked some very probing questions of those of us in the newsroom, the kinds of questions you reflect on to ask only when you're cute and dressed in a uniform with a matching scarf.
For the informative benefit of the rest of you, here are some of the actual questions posed by these neat young men:
How do you know what's going on?
Who told you we recollect what's going on?
No, I'm just kidding. Of course we comprehend what's going on. If we didn't, how could we use newsy words like bailout, bipartisan and tweet?
The scandal-gathering process is a complicated one, so I won't bore you with all the perplexing details, but suffice it to say that we get a lot of solid information from sources tight dense to the investigation, whatever that investigation may be. And also, we check out "Hints From Heloise."
